The analysis was focused on a new phenomenon recently intensifying, that is the development of economic cooperation between P.R. of China and some Eastern European countries. The study, following an initial phase of data collection, aimed at underlining the typology of trade exchange, as if involving intermediate or final goods, whether the trade development flow interest mainly demand related to domestic consumption or some productive delocalisation phases, and at individuating the main trade patterns. The analytic evaluations were prevailingly focused on imports of some East European countries from China. The four relevant EE countries considered were: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Serbia and Albania. The aim of these case-studies was the individuation of the analytic structure of trade patterns with China and of the eventual other forms of bilateral cooperation. Moreover, for this four countries, a special attention has been given to the growing exports to China, an issue destined to assume a greater importance in the medium term. The identification of the economic relations between EE countries (and specificately the four mentioned) and China was to be related with a reference framework that could be useful to Italian enterprises that are interested to penetrate Chinese market.
