Overview

There is a dearth of accurate information and analysis on China's economic/business infrastructure available to the investment community. Using cases from the Asian press and elsewhere, Gamble shows, in no uncertain terms, the challenges of doing business in China, from real estate to joint ventures and beyond. This book is vital reading for business executives, investors, and anyone concerned with China's business and economic environment. It is possible to read the pertinent law in China—translations of statutes are available—yet determining exactly how the legal infrastructure works on the ground is difficult. Without proper guidance, discerning the infrastructure's impact on risk management, economic forecasting, or prospective business and financial operations is next to impossible. Gamble provides that information through a combination of his own experience, legal research, economic analysis and investigative journalism.
