The section is for people and companies to share their experiences of doing business in China.

I’m doing a little research here, sparking a little controversy.

Can a business make a profit in China?  I would like to hear from non-Chinese business people, companies, business association, and corporations or people who have successfully and unsuccessfully established and run a profitable business in China.  Or hear from people who know them.

If successful, how successful and what led to the success?

In unsuccessful, how unsuccessful and what led to the demise?

Let me hear me hear those amazing or horrifying stories in 250 to 400 words.  You can send them to me.  You can post them here, post them in a reply, or you can send them to me at jamessteed@gmail.com.  I am wanting to know if you or someone you know made their fortune or lost their socks in China.

Please, send this question to every blog, message board, website you know, and person you know that might have something to say about this topic.  Give me the lowdown.

If I get enough responses, I will make a separate page for them.  See how interesting it gets.

Thank you,

James Steed

How to Form a Company in China

Here is a link to an article in the China Law Blog titled How to Form a Company in China. The article covers the follow areas: (1.) Make Sure Your Business is Legal For Foreigners.  (2.) Provide The Proper Documentation.   (3.) Investor Documents Needed.  (4.) Consider Forming a Special Purpose Company to Own the WFOE.  (5.) Secure Chinese Government Approval.  (6.) Compile and Provide These Documents for Chinese Government Approval.  (7.) Compile and Provide These Additional Documents for Chinese Government Approval.  (8.) The Approval Process.   Good overall view.  I imagine the people associated with the blog can provide the nuts and bolts of it all.
