The Pitfalls of Being an American Businessperson in China
RealClear Newsletter

Abstract
"Lookin for a manufacturing guy with plant shutdown experience for an interim role in Shanghai."
This request recently landed in my inbox. It's not exactly the stuff that age-old "One Bill Customers" dream of selling a toothbrush to every man, woman, and child in China is made of. Indeed, for U.S. companies looking to do business in China, lucrative opportunities remain elusive -- and companies more often than no jump at initial offers without looking at the long-term implications.
