Review: I have found an interesting website that guides those whishing to open a legal business entity in China: www.eyesonchina.com . Apparently they are a local international company and have rich experience.

Review: In my experience the difficulty of establishing a business outpost in China is second only to Russia. The growing number of US based consultancies dedicated to helping American companies navigate through the intricacies of the business, legal, and ever present political environment can be extremely useful. My recommendation is to interview three alternatives and select a firm you feel you can work with openly and directly - because dealing with the bureaucracy in China is anything but.

Review: I particularly liked the advice to go to the so-called second-tier cities. I am a big fan of Qingdao, which has a pro-foreign- business government and an educated workforce. On top of that, it is well located, a great place to live, and one of the fastest-growing in China.

Review: It's very true that running a business in China is one task to which you have to pay special attention. However, we all know that China is one of the biggest markets in the world and any businessman should consider entrance of this market as a top priority. Some challenges seem inevitable like remote management, different working staff, culture, and changing government policies. The success of your story depends on how you deal with these challenges, even though they may bring you a lot of trouble. It is a great idea to get the right partners outside of China that have experience in particular fields such as Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore.

Review: What I see in the global market is the lack of a fair playing field for all countries. What has happened in the U.S. are lost jobs! And for what? In many cases, corporate greed, in other cases, it's economics. I would like us to export our finished goods equally to all the countries that send their crap to the US. The US government has, once again, placed the American people in last place. Trade policies are complicated, but everyone must realize without good paying jobs here, there is no money to purchase goods. Take Japan, for example. First it was the auto industry then electronics. It crippled both industries and when you go to the store, do you find iPods being sold as the cost should be? The cost of manufacturing this item is pennies to the dollar. It's time to slow down importing, especially from China. Their slave labor is plentiful.
