First things first: it’s always guanxi
I’ve just come across Doing Business in China, How to profit in the world’s fastest growing market by Ted Palfker, published a couple of months ago by Warner Business Books.

Reading about the “China threat theory”
Today’s article on China-Africa cooperation provides a great example of what we can learn about global perspectives from raeding the Chinese newspapers available online.
