China has become one of the leading world economies. Its rapid growth, disciplined workforce, and immense size have attracted substantial foreign investments, which have transformed China into a highly competitive manufacturing and service providing source; and one of the fastest growing consumer markets. This has prompted many foreign companies to either manufacture their goods in China for export, or sell their Western products or services to Chinese corporate and retail consumers. What many foreign companies recognize, however, is that the differences in language, cultural traditions and business practices can be a barrier to successfully manufacturing or selling in China.
