Doing business is difficult. Having a local representative in China is necessary to understand the complexities of communication and culture vital to doing business there. The language has many dialects and customs varying by region. The buying process dealing in China is very different from that in the US. Everything is digital. Everything is done fast. Fast is the only speed of business. If business people are nice they have no interest in doing business with you. If the argue and criticize, they have interest. When they complete a successful transaction they become very sad. The differences in culture and language are so great that to be successful doing business in China, one must employ a knowledgable local representative.

Bryce O. You are very welcome. I worked in international business and dealt with those in China. We had a native employed just for the purpose you described. Outside of language, I found their reactions to everything country to US expectations. I even asked through our native employee why when the proposal was accepted that they became very sad. He told me in China they believed that life was a circle and after any good thing they prepared themselves to face what they knew would be failure to come, so failure made them happy and success made them sad...I could never understand, which is why the native employee is necessary.05/08/21
