China Law Blog

No sooner do I list "Ben's Blog" as a promising blog then he turns around and writes an absolutely amazing post on his Western friends' treatment of his boss at the Chinese barbershop at which he works.  Though I am not of the school that says we Westerners must learn every Chinese cultural nuance to do business successfully in China, I am of the school that a failure to respect Chinese culture can be a business disaster. 

Ben's post, entitled, "White People With Big Shelves," does a great job explaining the need to be respectful of Chinese culture while in China.  Many of the comments are well worth the read as well.

Ben, I say you stay at the barbershop for a couple of years and write a book.  Not kidding.
