China Law Blog

A China gaming client recently sent me the link to a very interesting and informative post on China Vortex, entitled, "Chinese Face, Chinese Heart," on Western companies seeking to break into China's internet and/or gaming industries. Here is what that post is about:

One of the frequent questions I run into in China is how western Internet companies coming into China should position themselves for growth in China.

Should they try to be western, or should they try in the shortest possible time, try to become Chinese, hiring Chinese for their local staff and management? Under what circumstances is it best to be western, and under what circumstances is it best to be Chinese? And what if a company has been in Taiwan, Hong Kong and/or the US; how should they position themselves for future growth in the Chinese market?

Well worth a read for those in either the internet or the gaming arena or simply in business in China.
