Issues which we have come across in China:• Who to trust? Developing contacts takes time andyou must ensure you develop the right ones.• Intellectual Property Rights and enforcementthereof.• Lack of local knowledge can be costly and timeconsuming.• Dealing with Agents and when commissions are tobe paid and how much and in what form?• As a small company be aware of joint ventureswith local Companies (especially minorityshareholdings).

Issues we have faced withProduction in China:• Cost increases, including labour,materials, and inflation.• Euro / RMB fluctuation.• Quality Control.• Finding the right Sub-suppliers forour business.

General Advice:• Form your own understanding of the Marketand Customers.• Develop a clear China Strategy.• Select the Right Partners• Understand the Role of Contracts• Have a good local team who can advise youand provide the background information for youto base your decisions on.• No longer see the benefit of a Rep Office.
