The document discusses conducting a PESTLE analysis to expand a business internationally into China. It analyzes the political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors in China. Politically, China has single-party leadership and can impose decisions without negotiation. Economically, China has high growth but challenges in beef production. Socially, China faces issues like an aging population but beef is accepted. Technologically, China invests in research but implementation issues remain. Legally, policies attract investment but weak enforcement is a risk. Environmentally, China has land and forests but also pollution issues. Overall, the analysis finds China a favorable potential market.

2.  PESTLE stands for Political, Economical, Social, Technological,
Legal & Environmental. These are the factors which need to be
considered while expanding business nationally or Internationally.
 PESTLE Analysis is a simple technique which can be used in a fairly
sophisticated way, particularly when it is combined with Risk
Analysis, SWOT Analysis and expert knowledge about the
organisation and its external factors. PESTLE Analysis is normally
used to help organisations identify and understand the external
environment in which they operate and how it will operate in the
future. I believe that a version of PESTLE Analysis can be used by
the individual for personal development planning.
 Here we are using this technique to expand our business
Internationally.
