The Chinese will blur the lines between these two types of relationships. Cold calling is a dead end technique in dealing with Chinese. You have to be recommended by someone...even if it is someone who is just an acquaintance. You are absolutely right about westerners keeping business and personal relationships separate.

Thanks. If India and China decide to let bygones be bygones and work together and partner on economic and geo-political issues (unlikely, I know), that would be a terribly difficult combination for the West to compete against. The West would really have to change and raise its game. - Chris Good insight, Yuxiang. Thanks.

From what i have seen, the only reason I could see Chinese would conflict with Indian is the McMahon Line.(I and hemanth talked this befpre) It's just a historic political problem. India and China has thousand years culture connection. China focuse on manufacturing and India focuse on IT, the main public opinion in China is that manufacturing may bring a lot of benefits now, but it doesn't have a very good future, some high tech industy are what we need. So, in the next 20 years, India could be a very sample to China, with the develpment of folk economy, the non-governmental cooperation will be more and more usual. And for both governments, Pakistan is the key, now China is 80% on Pakistan side. Because of ideology problem, though things has changed a lot in China, for chinese government, the country like India which has strong power and is very very closed to west world, it could be and will be very good friend but also competitor.

This is at odds with the managerial economics that dictate that sometimes you should fire your customer. If they take an inordinate amount of time to service, unless there's a really good reason, you should drop them and look for others. Yuxiang,
