NightMarket Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 I heard that it is far from homogenous though. There are progressive areas and places that seem frozen in time. Maybe we could have a more detailed discussion here. Quote Link to comment
Spurt Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 what do you mean by doing business in china? doing as in you're based in the mainland or more like trading with guys from the mainland? if your doing the first one, & suppose you'd be based in the mainland, you have to know at least a little of the language. mandarin so its universally understood specially by the business sector. then you have to have a guangxi, plus all the requisites of a regular business profile. capitalization could be minimal for manufacturing business but others, i don't know. government regulations are just regular like philippine standard except for monetary fluctuation issues. its prohibited to send out dollars out of china or profit from the fluctuation of it. this can be arrange with simple regulations & procedures. whew, daming gagawin, but if you are really interested, you can ask some guys doing it now in china, like some filipino guys doing it good in hongkong then they transfer their operations in shenzhen.

joveyb Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Doing business in china is not as easy as you imagine it to be. Firstly you haveto speak their language. That is Mandarin. If you do not know, forget it. Mostlikely you will be cheated. Yes there is a lot of business potential but you just haveto be careful with the people there. Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Just this little insight. China is now both a superpower (yes it is; even the US won't mess with it now) and an economic power. But doing business with China isn't that easy because it has a system that is both capitalistic and socialistic. That means you have to deal with a stubborn bureacracy, even in purely business matters. Some years ago, when some colleagues and I were discussing how to penetrate the Chinese market for a particular project, one rather elderly participant gave all the negative aspects of opening a business in China, particularly as it involved the government (he had actual experience). We were all peeved, because we wanted to be positive. In the end, he was proven right. The truth is, China doesn't need anyone. It can dictate its terms. Quote Link to comment
NightMarket Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 As long as their terms allow us to make some profit then it should be alright! Quote Link to comment
JL Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I was toying with the idea lately of bringing in some products from China, but honestly I don't have the connections. I'm made to believe that anything is worth a lot less if it comes form China. Quote Link to comment

RealEstateMan Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 CHINA BOOM is not what it seems. They will thrive but somehow there is a downside after the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. As reported in C-Span and Fox News. Business investors and speculator will probably move to Southeast Asian countries like Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore etc. giving back the glory of the old tiger economies growling again compared to the ballooning red dragon - China.

NightWingX Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Maybe too late to do Business in china right now. But if you have the right connection. Why not.But first you should learn to speak Mandarin.I can speak Mandarin, and Cantonese. Maybe is a good idea to setup a Chinese speach class here in the Philippine right now. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
RealEstateMan Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well, Ateneo de Manila university and Confucius Institute has it. Even the Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce has a affilitation with a Chinese University offering language classes in Mandarin Chinese. Quote Link to comment
