Habib-Ur-Rehman, a Pakistani businessman, has been running a Pakistani handicraft business in Shanghai for the past 16 years.

His family business started with his grandfather, but the connection with China began when his father came to China in 2003 and explored the Chinese market. His two brothers are now also involved.

He says there are plenty of opportunities for business in China and its market has huge potential.

"My father's friends recommended him to come to China to develop his business, saying China was the future. Indeed, they were right."
