About Asia Briefing’s China
Business Guides
Thank you for buying this guide. China Briefing’s publications are designed to fill a niche in the provision
of information about business in China.
When we decided several years ago to commence this series, we did so with the knowledge that much
information about China is scattered, contradictory, expensive or available only in Chinese. This guide
is designed to change that and pull together the practical information you need for doing business in
China in an accessible and engaging form.
The articles and materials within have been researched and written in China by those familiar with the
issues faced by foreign invested enterprises. To compile this guide, we have engaged the assistance of
a respected professional services firm: Dezan Shira & Associates. Without this firm’s assistance this book
would not have been possible, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services.
Contributors, editors and designers of previous editions of this guide include: Lucy Brady, Edward Boyle,
Chua Siew Joo, Robert Deng, Chris Devonshire-Ellis, Rosario Di Maggio, Marco Ferrari, Daniel Hughes,
Becky Jian, Charles Racine, Edward Robinson, Joyce Roque, Andy Scott, Graham Thompson, Nazia Vasi,
Natalie Wirska, SamWoollard, Jennifer Wu, Jeffy Yuan, Vicky Zhang.
Contributors to the current edition include: Julia Gu, Eunice Ku, Simon Sheung, Kaitlin Shung, Lena Xia.
This edition was designed by Chris Wei and edited by Samantha L. Jones.
At China Briefing, our motto is“the practical application of China business”and we hope that within this
volume and our other publications you feel that we have achieved this.
Sincerely,
Asia Briefing
