Keep in mind that topics that can not be discussed in public (e.g. taxes, certain truths about that China) due to legal reasons and/or reasons of political correctness will be discussed on the call. As much as I want to blog openly about all of my China business experience…I sadly have to hold back, genuinely begged by my Chinese staff and business associates. If you decide on a consulting call, you will learn about many things about China that no one is writing about. You will get a straight forward, no BS rundown of what’s going on. This unique insight into Chinese culture alone is worth the consulting fee if you are heading to China.
