Doing Business In China: What It Is Really Like.

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

Absolutely excellent, must read piece in today's New York Times, entitled, "Foreign Companies Chafe at China's Restrictions." Better than anything else I have read, this article, written by Keith Bradsher, conveys what foreign companies have been facing in China recently. The reality is that China is simply less excited and less desirous of foreign direct investment now than it was even as recently as one year ago and it is putting up hurdles against it. I intentionally used the word hurdles (and not roadblocks) because my clients have so far been able to jump over the new obstacles thrown their way. If you are doing business in China or thinking of doing business in China, I urge you to read Bradsher's piece. For more on how China is tightening the noose around foreign investment, check out the following: -- China's Changing Worldview Is Bad For Your Business. -- With China's New Standing Come New Errors. -- China Whets Its Enforcement Appetite.
