Following the pace of China's reform and opening up, DuPont set up an office in Beijing on 1984, and registered DuPont China Group Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen on 1988, becoming one of the earliest multinational enterprises to invest in China. At present, DuPont has established more than 50 wholly-owned and joint ventures in China, with about 7,500 employees, and moved many regional business headquarters to Chinese mainland.
