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).
