			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the American Express Business Travel&#8217;s second survey of corporate travel management service in China, the country will become the world&#8217;s third-largest market for corporate travel within five years. The survey shows that the spending on international business travel by China approximates US$4.2 billion a year, which is 17 percent of the Asian market for business travel. This figure, in addition to the spending on the domestic business travel in China, adds up to almost US$20 billion.</p>
<p>The healthy growth of China&#8217;s GDP is likely to secure a two-digit rise in China&#8217;s business travel market in a few years. It is estimated that by the year 2020, the number of Chinese business travellers will be five times as many as that at present. International travel service providers and global giants such as American Express, Kar Shun Travel, and Rosenbluth have noticed the potential of China market for business travel and have made inroads into China.</p>
<p>Global business travellers are advised to adhere to local business etiquettes. In Chinese business culture, conservative suits are the norm. For business purposes, it is traditionally acceptable to call a Chinese person by the family name, together with a title, such as &#8220;&#8221;Director Li&#8221;". Avoid using someone&#8217;s first name unless you know him or her closely. Formality is a sign of respect, and it is sensible to clarify how you will address someone early in a relationship.</p>
<p>Business hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. There is, however, a five-day workweek in larger cities. Avoid visiting government offices on Friday afternoon because this is sometimes reserved for &#8220;political studying&#8221; of the officials. Offices are typically closed on public holidays including the Spring Festival, during which most Chinese take five days off; other holidays during which offices close include Labor Day on May 1, and the National Day on October 1.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people opted to go for online trading where they are able to sell their items quickly to many people and get their money faster through online banking compared to the brick and wall store where you have to find a location where the ones who get a lot of traffic comes expensive.</p>
<p>Online trading helps people save a lot of money in doing business as well as time. Communication comes very fast and through online trade, you can inform your suppliers as well as your customers about the status of your business or any information that you want to relay to them in a nick of time. Internet has helped a lot of people make profitable business through online trading.</p>
<p>If there are pros, there are also cons in online trading, or the internet for that matter. There are many data in the internet that anyone can have access to and these data can fall into the wrong hands, and there are also many occurrences of identity theft, hacking and others. There are people who wanted money fast and they do that in a wrong way. There incidents where some people pretend to be high executives of Chinese supplier companies where they are able to con innocent people. There are many fly-by-night operators that will prey on you online.</p>
<p>The Chinese government has come up with an internet patrol to keep track on IP addresses, and since there are many young Chinese who gets involve in these frauds, the China government launched their internet censorship. This censorship stops these frauds, and the Chinese law makes employers to take extra measures to do a background check on the exporters they are dealing with.</p>
<p>And same goes for those who want to do business in China. There are many websites today where you can access a list of suppliers that are confirmed to be authentic companies in China. There are also websites that are launched by the international trade where you can submit complaints, share experiences and problems with a particular supplier.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Given that the Canton Fair is one of the most important events that&#8217;s organized in Guangzhou, there are certain formalities that need to be fulfilled in order to attend it successfully. Firstly, it is important to obtain an invitation for attending the fair. This can be obtained from a variety of sources including the Foreign Liaison Department of CECF, The Economic &amp; Commercial Counselor&#8217;s office (Section) of the Embassy (Consulate) of P. R. China, and The Local Representative Offices of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), amongst many others. It is important to provide details of your company like the name, address, fax and telephone numbers, email etc in order to obtain these invitation applications. For those business owners staying and conducting businesses abroad, it is important to apply for such invitations at least two months in advance.</p>
<p>It is pertinent to note that a business owner can visit the Fair without invitation but it requires a registration in advance, which includes a service charge and is valid for a period of only 12 days. While this is possible, it is not advisable, given the huge number of people attending the Canton Fair. Once the application is duly filled and sent within the deadline, which is 30th March for the Spring session and 30th September for the Autumn one, the businessperson can expect the invitation card by post. This card is valid for three people from the same business house.</p>
<p>Once you get your invitation, the next step is to get your visa for arriving in China and visiting the Canton Fair. After getting your visa, it is always advisable to book your hotel accommodations well in advance so that you do not have to pay exorbitant amounts. It is important to note that during the Canton Fair, hotels hike their rates by nearly 400%. So, booking your hotels in advance will help you avoid paying such exorbitant rates.</p>
<p>Finally, get yourself registered with the Canton Fair by submitting your invitation card, personal papers like your passport, business card and a recent photo. Registration will ensure that you get a visitor&#8217;s pass, which is absolutely essential for those wanting to enter the Canton Fair grounds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meanwhile, foreign counterparts from around the world have also rushed to join the ranks of sub-cake. For a time, the Chinese school of earth rejoice. Since the implementation of macroeconomic control in 2004, despite drastic changes in construction machinery industry, an increasingly weak domestic market. In the popular hit at the same time, more and more Chinese companies to explore overseas development. 2004 and for the first 5 months of statistical data have shown a major increase in exports of construction machinery. However, this small base on the establishment of a sudden the &#8220;high growth&#8221;, it seems &#8220;driven to revolt,&#8221; the taste of the great potential of foreign markets and accompanied by the attention. Which is precisely at this time, a lot of talent really clear, recognized in the domestic market is being eroded by foreign powers at the same time, foreign markets are facing a complicated situation. Entertain for many years, so today had to face the Chinese construction machinery enterprises, &#8220;internal and external&#8221; critical situation surrounded. Breaking out of a construction machinery already quietly started fighting.</p>
<p>Two days of construction machinery enterprises fate is typical of Investment oriented industries, and years of construction machinery enterprises in China are heavily dependent on the proactive fiscal policy and domestic large-scale infrastructure construction for survival and growing. Huge domestic market will not only have a month to feed a flourishing population of Chinese enterprises, it continues to attract the Europe, America and Japan, the world&#8217;s leading enterprises to gold.</p>
<p>The world&#8217;s largest construction machinery manufacturer Caterpillar as early as 1995, a joint venture factory in China, while China&#8217;s WTO commitments with the gradual implementation, construction machinery industry giants have landed in China. 2001, the foreign capital to 30% per year rate of growth and achieve localized delivery. In recent years, they basically monopolized the domestic high-end market, and even occupation of the individual sub-sectors of the market.</p>
<p>By 2003, foreign investment, joint ventures have occupied 47% market share in China. Even the highly competitive, but in building prosperity in China, construction machinery industry has maintained a rapid development of the situation, just before the macro-control, there is also the best level of growth?? The first quarter of 2004, sales grew 73.9%, April has 63% growth in achievement.</p>
<p>In order to suppress overheating in some sectors of the economy, the Chinese government decided to carry out macro-control, the State Council issued a circular late April that year, decided to raise the iron and steel, electrolytic aluminum, cement and real estate development sector capital investment in fixed assets ratio, required clean-up of fixed assets investment projects, depth rectify the land market, strictly manage the land. Control effect becomes more evident, the National Urban fixed-asset investment growth rate to 53% from the previous two months, fell rapidly to 4.7% in April. Classical investment theory still applies here. Over-rely on the domestic market in the hands of Chinese engineering machinery enterprises only basket was thus overturned. Unavoidable in that almost all the Chinese engineering machinery enterprises have varying degrees of impact, one has a business began limiting production and continuous losses. May, excavator sales below the level the same period in 2003, appeared the first year of negative growth in recent years; loader&#8217;s sales growth rate dropped sharply from February, in March of 156%, 76.5% rapidly to 37%; The concrete machinery manufacturers also agreed to enter in May claimed that sales decreased.</p>
<p>The industry&#8217;s sales revenues rose at a monthly rate of 10% down, until the end of 2004, and enter 2005, the first 4 months of sales revenue is still negative. At present, the macro-control and no end in sight, the impact of the construction machinery business has dropped more than a simple revenue, capital backlog, bad debts increased, the brain drain, have become the problem not solved in the short term. If the macro-control to the end of this year, then the impact of the construction machinery industry will continue through at least the first half of 2006. Which are in China, foreign investment, joint ventures, but successfully resisted this invasion.</p>
<p>Such as Caterpillar Xuzhou, Chengdu Kobelco, Hefei Hitachi and Daewoo and other enterprises, when in the face of macro-control exhibited good adaptability. They rely on a complete industrial chain of rational and mature global sales network, deployment of the product in the world, resold, subject to the impact of China&#8217;s relatively weak market changes a lot. Explore the causes of this phenomenon, I am afraid, and foreign investment, joint ventures, &#8220;two legs&#8221; walk about. Therefore, Chinese enterprises have no reason to continue to bet on a market on the.</p>
<p>Explore the international market?? Grow a must look at current international market is a period of strong demand in Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa business opportunities are everywhere. Which Asian and African developing countries as China&#8217;s major export target. In Malaysia, the government in order to encourage imports of advanced machinery and equipment, developed a number of preferential policies, such as priority sectors, the Chinese enterprises to invest in machinery and equipment industry in the country, duty-free access to 100% of statutory income for 10 years, this special offer. Developed by the Indian IT industry aware of its poor infrastructure constrains further economic development in the ten-year infrastructure development plan and the preferential policies, decided to invest the next five years, more than 200 billion U.S. dollars of construction funds. In addition, like Nigeria, Vietnam, and plan long-term commitment to the national infrastructure, are a huge market for construction machinery.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Chinese economy in recent years has been significantly improved, more convenient operation of export enterprises. With the completion of the relevant WTO commitments, MFN tariffs have been reduced to the standard treatment, on the number of non-tariff restrictions, including export quota and license system had been abolished. Countries open the door for the enterprise export, export finance system is being completed, the right to export self-examination and approval authority to relax much more convenient procedures for export processing. Meanwhile, industry associations and chambers of commerce in recent years, many domestic enterprises to participate in international organizations, construction machinery industry exhibition, to help companies access to international markets, information exchange and trade cooperation and achieved remarkable results, erected a very good platform.</p>
<p>March 2004, China Construction Machinery Association of China National Pavilion for the first time the name of the collective organization of domestic manufacturing enterprises International Construction Machinery Exhibition Three Fair (Munich, Germany, Las Vegas, Paris, France), one of Munich bauma2004. Including the Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group (XCMG), Guangxi Liugong Machinery Co., Ltd. (Liugong), Xiamen Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd., Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry Sany Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. Technology Development Co., Ltd. and (Sany) etc., 42 exhibitors, displaying the highest standards of the domestic representative of 60 sets of construction machinery products, set off a wave of Chinese in the Munich style. Moreover, the participation of a number of Chinese construction machinery manufacturers also show users with overseas business and exports reached an agreement, some enterprises on several occasions after the show received from foreign buyers.</p>
<p>China visionary companies have already started the &#8220;Lexington&#8221; of gunfire. China&#8217;s largest construction machinery production base in Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group in May last year, passed the European CE certification, and successful in France, Poland exported loader after each one received recognition recently received from Poland in the 50 Taiwan loader orders; size after early Xu workers Changlin Co., Ltd. started in 2001, set up sales offices abroad, and focus on brand strategy, exports increased year by year; now, Sany, Liugong are set up sales outlets in India, is opening the Indian market. The current Chinese enterprises in international market development, still in the start and acceleration phase, still emphasize the dependence on the domestic market. But by expanding the overseas market to expand enterprise scale and deeper development of enterprises, has become more and more construction machinery enterprises consensus. Fortune to rely on the domestic market Chinese companies have been targeting the country&#8217;s vast outside world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article will give you the following helpful steps to ensure your business in China as a foreigner doesn&#8217;t come back to you with unpleasant surprises and consequences, and instead brings you only entrepreneur success.</p>
<p>Learn from those before you. Don&#8217;t be shy about talking to as many other foreign business owners in China as you can since this is who you&#8217;ll learn the most from. What worked for them and what didn&#8217;t? What obstacles did they run into along the way?</p>
<p>Select a stable area of China to support your business goals. If you&#8217;ll be transporting goods or having goods sent to you, think about your location. If having quick and easy access to your businesses&#8217; bank, local stores and the transport of goods is a priority then you&#8217;ll want to consider moving inland.</p>
<p>Before registering, consider hiring a local professional to help you determine whether you&#8217;ll be registering as a representative office, joint venture or wholly foreign owned enterprise. Whereas a representative office is the most affordable choice, wholly foreign owned enterprises give the owner total control. To determine the right choice for you and your business, make sure to thoroughly research your options, priorities and budget.</p>
<p>Some foreign business owners in China simply ignor hiring a liaison, but you shouldn&#8217;t. Any foreigner coming to China to start a business could use the help of a representative, and why not? They will inform you of all licenses and fees, can guide you through the process and speak on your behalf while registering your business. If nothing else they offer a useful support for you as you make your transition into China&#8217;s business world.</p>
<p>Protect your item. The number one rule to know about <a href="http://www.aboutdragon.com/category/china-business/" target="_blank">Chinese business </a>affairs is this: whoever trademarks the product first, owns the rights to it and the government takes this very seriously. Make sure to register your trademark early, or you could be hit with hefty fees and the result of your product never leaving the country.</p>
<p>Be choosy in hiring your employees. No one can make or break your business affairs like your employees. Get creative when hiring the Chinese, and consider a human services firm to help you in the process. China is diverse and the cities are cosmopolitan, meaning you can easily find many Americans or Europeans throughout. You may want to look into someone who speaks your language fluently but proceed with caution. Just because they speak the same language as you, doesn&#8217;t mean they should be trustworthy from the get go. Like any other aspect of your business, be cautious about who you trust to run your business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>China gift industry desires for professional and creative designers. Competition enhances design capability in a positive way. Brilliant designer teams stay abreast of trends and always scout for new ideas or options when going to some relevant events or shows. Gift magazines and Internet sites are used as references as well.Brand Name Promotion</p>
<p>Companies that do not have any awareness in promoting their brands cannot survive. Companies are now getting to that awareness. Brand stands for everything &#8211; low price, convenience of purchase, emotional attachment, and for performance and quality. As far as allocation of funds (for brand promotion) is concerned, it should be carried out on a sustainable basis. It has to be part of the overall budgetary allocation of the company.Creating Value, Adding Value and Maintaining Value</p>
<p>Whether it is Culture Value added or Technology Value added, they would undoubtedly make your gifts more competitive. Many traditional Chinese gifts maker should strive for new technology to bring novelty to their products and maintain freshness. Meanwhile, we can&#8217;t ignore the culture value of the gifts or even an enterprise. For instance, Swarovski Crystal are paying much attention and funds in its culture value promotion (crystal history, magic function etc.), it&#8217;s the culture connotation that contributes much to its overall success, attracting people to buy it and enjoy it</p>
<p>How can gifts marketers and retailers better understand the hearts and minds of their consumers and use that insight to capture a greater share of the consumers&#8217; gifting budget? These are questions every gift enterprise should investigate into seriously. For the foreign gift trade business in china, it would be favorable for the profits and markets to grow, for example, if the manufacturers could produce gifts that taking in more western flavor, religious imply, personalized demand, or of high quality level.</p>
<p>The environment is increasingly on consumers&#8217; radar screens, according to many surveys. &#8220;Eco-friendly&#8221; goods are more popular in holiday season than in the past. Wrapping stuff like plastic bags are not so welcome. This shopping intention was consistent across gender, age and income groups based on many survey statistics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article will explain the philosophical base of Chinese business etiquette.</p>
<p>It is important for better understanding your Chinese partners and for evaluation of their behaviour.</p>
<p>Confucianism and Taoism are the two main philosophical sects in China, which have had an impact on the Chinese way of doing business for centuries, and nowadays still have been influencing and remain important.</p>
<p>Interpersonal relationships are the main core in Confucianism. And nowadays it has a great influence on Chinese mentality and social behaviour.<br />
One of the most important aspect of Confucianism is mutual respect and interpersonal trust in society.<br />
There are two main doctrines that have an impact on business negotiations: hierarchical social relations and the concept of saving face.<br />
Confucianism defines the hierarchical relationships in society as follows:</p>
<p>Managers and followers, father and son, husband and wife, elder and younger, teacher and pupils. The first protect and guide, while the others respect and follow. In Confucianism obedience and adherence to these rules is regarded as the path to harmony in society.</p>
