How can selling construction materials in China create opportunities for foreign investors?

As the government supports the idea of ‘green’ construction and the vast majority of Chinese suppliers are still not familiar with green materials, this policy of supporting environmental friendly constructions encourages foreign investments. No construction material is restricted and materials that conserve energy are even encouraged in China. This creates a niche market for foreign investors that want to satisfy quality-conscious middle class and can also offer technology and know-how to the market that local companies cannot offer. However, several materials are subject to a national licensing regime.
