While there are many excellent books on business in China, frequently the emphasis is on what can go wrong and how to avoid problems, few penetrate the issues incisively and offer a masterful fixes. This is a MUST-READ for anyone contemplating doing business in China or already doing business there. Easy to read, well-written and wide in scope, this is a very useful volume for any business library. Having this book is like having ten China business gurus on your board. Tan Yinglan, Author, The Way Of The VC - Top Venture Capitalists On Your Board Reading the Thanks list in the Foreword to Jonathan Story's superb coverage of what it takes to do business in China, tells you a lot about the book. The list reads like a who is who of global companies and their chairmen, CEO's, general managers and senior executives operating in China. Diving into the book itself is about as close to living the real thing as you can get, and the experience of the author and his sources will be of invaluable help to those already on the ground there, as well as these planning to do so. Readers not only learn what to expect, and what to do (and not to do), but even more importantly they will come away from reading the book with a much deeper understanding of why things are evolving as they are. Buy it. Read it. Learn from it. Enjoy it. It will be one of the best investments in China that you can make. Derek Abell
