How To Live and Do Business in China
January 16th, 2008
Check out Christine Lu’s latest China Business Network podcast, How To Live and Do Business in China.
A nice feature on a normal, everyday Canadian that went to the PRC and made the adjustment. He also has an interesting take on corruption in China vis-a-vis the West.

Ernie seems to have some good insight into what is necessary to be successful. Has anyone read his book yet? Is it worth a read?
One of the takeaways I have from the many different interviews from people who have both successfully and unsuccessfully done business in China is to expect it to be hard and to have a steep learning curve. Do as much to learn about the culture beforehand but expect to struggle for awhile. I think if people go in with this attitude, the transition would be easier (but by no means easy).

Hi Jeff and others. To answer the question “Has anyone read his book yet? Is it worth a read?” I’d say yes. On our site China Business Success Stories
you can find many posts by Ernie. If you subscribe to our newsletter you will find some more in the weeks to come. Hope this was helpful, regards, Michiel
