| COMPANY BACKGROUND |
 |
| |
Since China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, the resulting increase in |
| trade and investment has transformed China and brought wealth and prosperity to millions. However, many complexities and hidden risks of conducting business in China remain. Companies face many challenges of operating and investing in the world's most dynamic market. Successfully managing such risks requires a combination of local knowledge, professional expertise and an ability to bridge the gap between foreign companies and local concerns. |
