  <default_description>Jack Leblanc arrived in China in 1989 intending to teach Physics for just two years. He was to spend the next two decades on a very different learning curve as he became involved in a series of business ventures in almost every part of the Middle Kingdom.    From farm to factory, boardroom to banquet, Leblanc witnessed (and occasionally assisted) the transformation of China from a socialist economy into the world's greatest experiment in capitalism.    Over time it dawned upon him that the key to success is to manage the differences in Chinese and Western business behaviour. To do well in China you must carefully adapt your strategies - or face ruin faster than you can learn how to use chopsticks.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I picked up this book roughly a week ago in HK.<br/><br/>And was happily surprised by its content.<br/><br/>An easy read written by someone who seems to know what he's talking about. Each chapter is related to a different China business situation that could happen to anybody involved in China bu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22154153">more...</a>]]></body>
