Understanding of Chinese market:

With a population close to 1.3 billion, China's booming economy has created great demands for foreign consumer and industrial products and services. Moreover, China has adopted preferential policies to attract products, investment, and technology from abroad. However, to be successful in the market, you should have an in-depth understanding of China market.

• Fast Growing Market: especially after the WTO accession.
• Regional Difference: The regional markets within China are becoming increasingly heterogeneous, each with its own development policy, and are competing to attract foreign investment and technology. Due to this diversity, it is advisable to engage experts like us with deep understanding of this market.
• Chinese Culture: To understand the nuances of the business culture one must have some basic understandings of the general Chinese culture. The rich cultural heritage inherited from the past is in many ways drastically different from Western cultures. Understanding Chinese culture is the key to successful business relationships with China.
• Bureaucracy: In China, you need to find an experienced professional who can help you overcome any difficulties and delays caused by bureaucracy. You need the assistance of someone who knows how to expedite official processes.
• Guanxi: This unfamiliar Chinese word simply means "relationships". Chinese people typically trust people they know well. In order to do business and navigate governmental processes, you must find people skillful in helping you build proper "Guanxi". Good "Guanxi" does not mean a connection to a certain governmental official or a business organization. It simply means a web of connections.
