Very Often we get queries from our clients all over the world , especially in the West, on how to do business in China or with China. The country has never been close to the world , having GDP grown at double digits for the first 20 years, and then the single digit for the last 5 years.

Entering into the Chinese market has never been so easily in the last 5 years , with the government relaxing restrictions on a number of sectors. Still, foreign companies still feel puzzled or unfamiliar with entering into the Chinese market, let alone its goods and services come to China.
1) Before you come to China, make sure you have been in touch with any government-backed organisations , for example, CBBC
in the UK, also known as China -Britain Business Council. It was launched by a number of UK businesses, for seeking deeper economic and cultural ties with China, sanctioned by the governments of the UK and China.
