Book Description
The goal of this book is to help people - especially investors, business executives and college students in America and other Western countries - learn about, invest and do business in the People's Republic of China. Although other books and publications have offered good advice on this subject, none are as comprehensive, nor do they benefit from the extensive knowledge provided by the expert team of seasoned writers and scholars assembled here, all of whom have worked in China.No nation in recent history has gained political and economic power at the rate of China. A serious investor or businessman must take into account the extra-ordinary transformation of this ancient society and how its business practices function both in public and behind the scenes. ...A mistake outsiders commonly make is to think of the Chinese people in simplistic terms. China's historically isolationist policies have contributed to this misconception. But the Chinese are anything but simple. Seasoned investors with international experience understand the complexity of China and how easily one can falter without access to knowledge about its government, people and culture. This book is designed to help investors obtain that knowledge.
