The New Land of Free Enterprise

If the 20th century was sometimes referred to as "The American Century," then it goes without saying that the 21st century belongs to China.  There have been some real changes in the geo-political world in the realm of international business during the past decade.  Today, China does more business around the world than does the United States.  One factor in this equation is that the government of China appears to be more committed to prosperity than does the United States.

To successfully do busines in China though, one should take prudent steps before any investment of time or money is made.  The place where most people begin is with the language.  The official language of the Middle Kingdom is Mandarin Chinese.  However, there are cultural and ethical challenges to be met in order to navigate a path toward prosperity.  There is very much to know about China to be able to understand what to do... or not do! 

What does seem obvious is that China's economy is growing and prospering every year.  The world is looking to what is happening Beijing rather than Washington D.C. or London, England.  So perhaps the heyday of Western business influence is at an end?  May you find good luck and prosperity in your journy!
