中國 Over the past twenty years China has surged to become a world economic power. Having raised millions of Chinese from poverty, China is playing a key role in the world’s economy. What the Chinese people have achieved is nothing short of miraculous.

China is a huge market with tremendous opportunities.

Despite great change, the fundamentals of culture and the ways in which Chinese conduct business remain essentially the same. The biggest challenge that Western companies face is gaining familiarity with Chinese business culture. Research shows that a lack of understanding of Chinese market culture and the inability to adapt to different ways of doing business are the main reasons for guan xi (relationship) problems, missed opportunities, and business failures.
