Just read a post at the Entrepreneurship as an Adventure blog, entitled, “Coming to Terms with China.” This is a blog written by a young entrepreneur trying to make a go of running a small business in China. The blog is subtitled Entrepreneurship as an Adventure Sport and it is about exactly that: the adventures of running an entrepreneurial business in China.
The “Coming to Terms with China” post starts out talking about how difficult it is to get used to China and how frustrating it can be. It goes into how commonly Chinese businesses engage in cheating, doubly so when foreigners are involved. Then it takes a saccharine turn (which is appropriate for the holiday season) and talks about how things are changing for the better in China business and provides some nice examples of that. Not gonna tell you this post is Hemingway-esque, but it is a good, heart-felt view of what China business is like right now and of how things are getting better.
I suggest you read it and let us know what you think.
