Home Depot joins push into China: purchase of small chain follows wave of foreign retailers, holds risks

With its acquisition of Home Way, a small Chinese home- improvement chain, The Home Depot Inc. is entering the Chinese market. China has recently relaxed its retail regulations, making it easier for foreign companies to move in. Foreign retailers hope that strong Chinese sales will compensate for weak sales in their home markets.
