China Business

China will be officially and fully open in 2006. Both potential business opportunities and hidden risks exist for investors to identify and evaluate. The picture is often blurred due to its complexity. This market represents the quintessential essence of the Chinese term “wei ji”, encompassing both considerable returns and losses to investors and players alike. Foreign investors have made courageous early moves into this market which was initially slightly opened, gradually half opened and still resemble uncharted waters to many. A compilation of past records and experiences is filled with strategies worth high praises and with broken dreams of those loathing participants. There have been countless guides on how to do business in China, one way or another. It is now time to get to the basics.

This book is written with the paucity of textbooks on China business in mind. It aims at providing a systematic and consistent framework for anyone with interest in China business and in the Chinese economy in general. It contains both comprehensive knowledge and practical information on doing business in this transitional market, and focuses on key issues relevant to business decision-making. Thanks to extensive data on ventures made by foreign investors, this book is able to include case studies and analysis of business operations which either thrive or fail to make an impact. Essential information in major areas of China business, in particular in foreign direct investment, forms the core of listed chapters of this book, and the learning of China business is placed in perspective.
