In fact Jaguar Land Rover is opening a new dealership in China every week. China sales now represent almost 20% of the companies sales.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, another less publicised side to this story.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2007 the British Pound\u00a0 has devalued against the Chinese Yuan (or RMB)\u00a0 by a whopping 56% as a direct result of the U.K Governments <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.projectsguru.co.uk\/CNYVGBP.JPG\" alt=\"\" align=\"right\" \/>policy of Quantitative Easing. In March 2009 75 billion pounds was created electronically followed by another 200 billion pounds later that year. Further episodes of Q.E pumped a total of 325 billion pounds into the U.K economy, devaluing the pound &amp; increasing exports.<\/p>\n<p>It also goes a long way to explaining why foreign ownership of London property has increased 20% since 2009 &amp; conversely why imported foodstuffs &amp; other goods now seem outrageously expensive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:chris@projectsguru.co.uk\">chris@projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectsguru.co.uk\">www.projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/projectsguru\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com\/follow_bird_us-a.png\" alt=\"Follow projectsguru on Twitter\" width=\"100\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/chrisrob9999\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/chrisrob9999\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/img\/webpromo\/btn_viewmy_120x33.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"View Chris Robinson's profile on LinkedIn\" width=\"120\" height=\"33\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/chrisrob9999\"> <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/chrisrob9999\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/chrisrob9999\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><!-- Facebook Like Badge START --><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"background: #3B5998;padding: 5px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/images\/fb_logo_small.png\" alt=\"Facebook\" width=\"79\" height=\"22\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/badge.facebook.com\/badge\/179845275377478.100001783201104.922302001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #EDEFF4;display: block;border-right: 1px solid #D8DFEA;border-bottom: 1px solid #D8DFEA;border-left: 1px solid #D8DFEA;margin: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 5px 0px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #EDEFF4;display: block;padding: 5px;\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/images\/icons\/fbpage.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<p style=\"color: #808080;font-family: verdana;font-size: 11px;margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;padding: 0px 8px 0px 8px;\"><a style=\"color: #3B5998;font-family: verdana;font-size: 11px;font-weight: normal;margin: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Chris Robinson\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Projectsguru.co.uk\" target=\"_TOP\">Chris Robinson<\/a> likes<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #FFFFFF;clear: both;display: block;margin: 0px;overflow: hidden;padding: 5px;\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"middle\"><a style=\"border: 0px;color: #3B5998;font-family: verdana;font-size: 12px;font-weight: bold;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Projectsguru.co.uk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Projectsgurucouk\/179845275377478\" target=\"_TOP\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile\/pic.php?oid=AQCp0JEnudq9jnDYWhs4AQ2sw9Euk85jC-tpjFcvt6H0JQFidqGAyfKRTMn4qXc-oL0&amp;size=square\" alt=\"Projectsguru.co.uk\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 0px 8px 0px 8px;\" valign=\"middle\"><a style=\"border: 0px;color: #3B5998;font-family: verdana;font-size: 12px;font-weight: bold;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Projectsguru.co.uk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Projectsgurucouk\/179845275377478\" target=\"_TOP\">Projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block;float: right;margin: 0px;padding: 4px 0px 0px 0px;\"><a style=\"color: #3B5998;font-family: verdana;font-size: 11px;font-weight: none;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Create your like badge\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/badges\/like.php\" target=\"_TOP\">Create your like badge<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Facebook Like Badge END -->;
