We have been successful doing so several times. Commercial consultancy advise is where we draw the line though. We have the policy not to compete with the activities of our members, some of whom in some cases do offer business consultancy.¡±
Fairytales
People often tend to say you have to find a Chinese partner for your business, is that true? ¡°Personally I would definitely reconsider that. Finding a good Chinese partner is no walk in the park. Several of our members have experience in loosing (a lot of) money to a so-called ¡®partner¡¯. If you don¡¯t really need a partner, and you have a good product or service, I wouldn¡¯t do it. Sometimes however, you have no choice. For instance if you want to register on tenders from the government, say as an architectural firm, it is often demanded that you have a Chinese partner. Considering the fact that a public tender from the Chinese government is very complicated for foreigners, having a Chinese partner in these cases is no superfluous luxury.¡±
Chinese mentality
Whether you work with or without a partner, do or don¡¯t become a member of BenCham, sometimes one just has to take a leap of faith. ¡°You will grow accustomed to the country and the Chinese business approach quite easily. I admit, Chinese employees can have difficulties with priorities and they might find it hard to work independently. It is however to their credit that they are flexible, prepared to work hard and they are very kind by nature. Of course, just like in the West, there is always a chance to be swindled, and, like any business anywhere, you can loose some money someday. But don¡¯t let that keep you from coming to China. It would be a pity if you miss out certain business deals, just because of the wrong information and exaggerated fear. After all, doing business is all about taking risks.¡±
Huanying!
¡°In case you do decide to go to China, observe the market well, gather as much information as possible and make use of all your contacts. It can sometimes be frustrating and not everything you touch will instantly turn into gold. But if you are patient and keep the fact in mind that China is a growing and willing market, you will discover a whole new world. Jump in!"

This is good, thanks for the post!
I think a lot of people forget what they would otherwise do in business when they get to China. They just think everything will come easily and all the business logic goes out the window- ¡°blind optimism¡± isn¡¯t that what the Chinese minister said?
