For manufacturers and service providers worldwide the Chinese market represents a huge, and frequently missed, opportunity. However, understanding where the opportunities lie, how to access them, and the cultural and policy issues involved, can be extremely daunting and frustrating. In such a situation, a locally based team of combined Chinese and foreign professionals is best placed to both thoroughly address the needs and concerns of the client, and also to be able to penetrate the market in sufficient depth and detail by leveraging local connections and resources. Additionally, because such a team can truly understand the requirements of both sides involved in the project, they can ensure that it is totally customised to the client’s desired outcomes.
