China Streetsmart is as alive, intense and engrossing as China itself.
Original both in approach and content, this book leads us through
a wealth of practical insights documented with personal testimonies
from a wide array of China veterans … one of the few books
available that acutely portrays the current complexities of business
life in China.
Guy Bouchet
Vice President
A.T. Kearney
China Streetsmart is the only book I have read that explains practical
and effective secrets learnt from on-the-ground experience coupled
with a deep understanding of Chinese history and ideology. This
book provides you with a framework on how to deal with problems,
how to make profits and how to set the long term risk and investment
strategy.
China Streetsmart is not only meant for new or western investors,
but it also stimulates executives with several years of China experience
to rethink their issues in a different way. The book is original
in approach, written for people who want to capitalise on the opportunities
that exist in China today and the next decade.

China Streetsmart tells you pretty much all you need to know to
outfox your competitors in the superhighways – and back alleys
– of China’s labyrinthine commercial world. Based on
the author’s personal experience as a businessman as well
as painstaking research, this innovative work offers practical tips
in areas ranging from choosing joint venture partners to negotiating
deals. A must for understanding – and profiting from –
the post-WTO China market.

China Streetsmart is a professional thriller for smart businessmen
and women to read, understand and learn from. The book is based

and profitable model.

China Streetsmart is an essential guide for investors to assess
the benefits versus operational risks of investing in China. Taking
a macro (top-down) view of the Chinese business environment, John
Chan’s unique guide to investing in China is easy to read
and follow by providing practical tactics based on best business
practices. This book shows both new and seasoned corporate strategists
how to deal with China’s various pitfalls.
Jun Ma
Director and Senior Economist
Deutsche Bank Hong Kong
China Streetsmart dissects China’s business environment, examines
the key components and puts it back together again in a way that
will appeal to the new comer, impress the practicing businessman
and show old China hands how – and how fast – things
are changing. The chapters on guanxi and consistency alone are worth
the price of the book.

In Portola and Aquarius’s case, the title was more a question
of face than one of control should really read: In Portola and Aquarius’s
case, the title was more a question of control than face (the opposite
meaning of what was printed).
Page 139 (bottom paragraph)
While the outlines provided by MOFTEC are extensive and detailed,
they do not force businesses to be treated in a
similar fashion and where there are discrepancies, MOFTEC is available
for discussion.
The correction is to remove the word not because
MOFTEC does force businesses to be treated in a similar fashion.
