2. There are certain characteristics about relationships
in China otherwise known as guanxi. First of all,
they tend to be reciprocal in nature, so if someone
grants you a favor, you should grant one back.

3. Doing Business in China

4. When it comes to doing business in China, you will
need language skills, which is why it’s recommended
you employ an interpreter and even a Chinese
employee to talk to the Chinese and communicate
with the Chinese in a language they understand so
that there are no misunderstandings. Remember,
things like technical jargon, phrases, and humor may
not translate very well. It would also be a good idea to
have a couple of pages from your website translated
into Chinese along with your business cards.

5. There are different types of business visas that you
can apply for, including single entry, double entry, or
multiple- entry so you have to think about how often
you’re going to be going to China throughout the year.
If you have a letter of invitation, it may need to state
which type of visa you’re going to have to apply for.

6. Opening Up

7. The opening up of China brought new perspectives
and possibilities for the Chinese people. Private
ownership was booming, bringing changes in lifestyle
and rapid expansion overnight in the car industry,
service industries, street advertising, and real estate.
A foreigner wanting to take advantage of the
numerous opportunities of setting up a private
business in China came up against a mountain of
obstacles presented by Chinese law.

8. The only way a foreigner was permitted to start a
business was to partner with a local person who
would have to have a major share of ownership and
all legal rights. In order to apply, the name approval,
acceptance from MOFTEC (the Ministry of Foreign
Trade and Cooperation), and tons of other paperwork
all had to be legally registered, which took many
months and was often dependent on how good
guanxi (relationship building) your Chinese partner
had with local authorities.

9. he beginning of the 21st Century brought further
developments. The previously tedious business
registration process could now be done by various
consulting agencies, providing this service for a
minimum sum in a much shorter time. The easiest
way of setting up a company was to apply as a
consultancy service, which covered such a broad
spectrum that it effectively allowed the individual to
explore business opportunities according to the
market growth.

10. Finding a Job

11. If you have a natural love for entertainment and
media, a great and fun Chinese speaking job would be
to join Chinese show-business. Similar to other
countries, China has a need for foreign participants to
be a part of their commercials, movies, and TV shows.
Foreigners who have learned to speak Chinese are in
high demand by talent agencies and producers who
need these types to cast in their projects.

12. By going online to job boards, you can look for
opportunities that could best use your talents and
provide an interest for you. There are also local jobs
available that are looking for people who are Chinese
speaking. There are many multinational corporations
and mid-size businesses that deal with Chinese
consumers and businesses that could use your
reading, writing, and speaking Chinese skills.

13. These Chinese companies need individuals who can
speak and write in Chinese so they have someone
who can effectively communicate with to Chinese
clients and customers. These jobs only require that
you have a desktop or laptop computer with internet
access and the talent in reading, speaking and writing
in Chinese.

14. Chinese Economy

15. China is a leading supplier of non-brandname,
wholesale electronics. If an electronics product is
being produced anywhere in the world, you can
certainly find an imitation of it in China for a much
lower price. While the quality may be a bit lower,
the price reflects this, and the gadget will perform
largely the same function as the original product.
China’s share of the market grows every day as the
imitations get better, and the quality continues to
improve.

16. With lower costs and greater freedom to imitate,
Chinese wholesale manufacturers can afford to
offer a much wider variety of products. Most
electronics manufacturers offer a laundry list of
products, including mobile phones, video game
consoles, cameras, computer accessories,
mp3/mp4 players, jewelry, and beauty products.

17. In the fast-paced world of electronics, it should not
be underestimated how rapidly Chinese
manufacturers can adapt to changing technology. If
any company develops an innovation, a copy is
available almost immediately from a Chinese
company. While other foreign companies are
restricted from producing that product, Chinese
wholesalers have all the latest developments from
every company available from one supplier.
