Booming China

**clinton** · 07-09-2007 04:36 AM

We have all heard and witnessed the economic boom taking place in China but what do you think about China as a services sector and specifically concerning tourism?

Do you think the boom will outlive us or is it going to bust soon ?

How do you feel about adopting Mandarin (chinese) as an entrepreneur.

Do you think western culture (from a biz viewpoint) will adjust to the Chinese or vice versa?

Personally l think that very soon deserving startup businesses will have a "PAID IN CHINA" label on them

All I know for sure is that sometime before 2020 China will have the largest tourism market share in the world.

^ Think he means largest tourist amount from China, and it's not hard to figure out since they're getting richer and there are so many people there.

we all know that Chinese are business minded people but most of us find the behavior of Chinese business people difficult to understand because of their differences from the Western culture. That's why we need to understand each culture in order we can develop a global perspective.

Thats stereotyping, and I wouldnt even say Chinese people are stereotypicaly business minded, considering they are a communist country.

Such generalisations won't make you succeed.

Lucky I am fluent in a few languages and knows both the western and the Chinese culture.

Thanks for the replys guys , l think that the Chinese are so many that their chances of succeeding on the biz scene are higher. Being in a communist country could be an advantage for a number of them as it forces them to think harder and cleverly so that by the time they take on western players the way they look at a problem or obstacle could be better than a westerner with not as many laws and red tape to go through.

Thank you
