Despite the huge opportunities in China’s market, foreign firms will find that China is not an easy market. American companies have to recognize the need for a special approach to a market with such a contrasting cultural, political and economic landscape. The most successful businesses in China are those that take the time to build strong relationships, become recognized in the industry, and develop products and services that cater to Chinese buyers.

Building good local relation is crucial to foreign firms seeking to provide their products and services in China. Forming a close relationship with a local partner can help navigate the opaque regulatory system, as well as provide a strong local presence with local contacts. Most of China’s large projects need to go through an open tender system, and all the bids will be accepted on a competitive basis. The winning bidders and new venue owners have a great deal of autonomy in deciding how to construct and operate the project and how to award this work.
