Dragon Mart from China opened their doors in the Barwa Shopping Avenue, last year, offering Chinese products on competitive prices.

However, despite having huge and cheap sourcing from China, It could not bear the heavy cost of doing business here, as a result, most of the Chinese traders have migrated elsewhere.

While govt. is making efforts to encourage the businesses, the "heavy cost of doing business" is wiping out similar ventures very frequently, so there is a need to look into it.

Apparently 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese!

So its either my Mum, my Dad, my brother John or my brother Ching Chong Chow.

But I think it's John.

Many things are wrong in Qatar, but the country is only 43 years old. Give them another 50 years and they will learn from their mistakes.

Rental of shops is far higher than their profit margin. They are suffering from the higher "Cost of Doing Business".

Dragon Mart Dubai is having more than 4,000 shops and is a success story. Here they have less than 100 shops that too are not able to survive.
