Achieving success in China requires tailoring your business model, product or service to meet the country’s unique requirements.

Often, global companies come to China and are content to compete with other, high-price and high-technology products, and do not venture into the purely local market, where quality standards and prices are significantly lower. This can be a fatal mistake. Not only are these companies giving up on a large share of the China market, but future competitors are likely to emerge from this local market. Learning how to compete with the new local competitors that are emerging in China is essential for long-term success.
