Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book provides the basic considerations for starting any business in China. It explains what to expect in China, and the advantages/disadvantages to expect. Along with some other books on China busines, I was able to get a great insight into our competition, without having to travel to China.

⭐Only 60 pages in and I’ve already gained perspective and more patience.

⭐Great book. Very informative.

⭐I wanted broad strokes, just an idea of doing business in China. I needed this information for a project and thought I’d get greater detail at a later date. The book provided exactly what I was looking for. It detailed the specific types of foreign companies, corporate structures, business practices and etiquet.If you need something more substantial this might not be for you but if you only want top line, it was excellent.Good investment.

⭐I am using this book for MBA graduate school class and have found this to have relevant and useful information. We will be visiting China as part of our class experience.

⭐I am offended by the title – it is antithetical to the Indn Way. There is a huge difference between ignorance and stupidity; ignorance (you did not know a thing was wrong, so you did it) is easily curable (education), while stupidity (dummies – you knew a thing was wrong, & did it anyway) is much harder to cure. The book is good, but a bit wordy. Fix the title to something less insulting; edit it to something shorter; then it could get 5 stars. Otherwise, I & others like me have too much to do to wade thru extraneous words to find what we need. I gifted it to my library; they were thrilled to get another book.

⭐It was my fault for not researching the book for exact content but it did have at least some useful information. Whith the price I payed who cares even a few torn out pages would have been ok but book was better shape than at a bookstore.

⭐Doing Business in China for Dummies is an excellent addition to anyone’s “Dummies” collection wanting to gain insight on the inner workings of the Chinese marketplace. It doesn’t matter who you are, this book is great for anyone from business people to travelers going to China; it’ll help you along your way in an informational step-by-step approach. What are the most crucial things to remember when dealing with other customs? Body language, entertaining, politeness and negotiating are among the few topics dealt with in this book; a few things which are very important when dealing with Chinese business people.Even though business is very important there are many more things which one should know when in China. Other than dealing with business, it gave good insight to a few of the large cities and how to get around from the airport upon arrival; tips on transportation; lodging; and what happens if you run into problems.Comprehensive, intelligent, fast paced and easy to read, doesn’t even begin to describe this book by the Collins/Block duo. Two highly qualified individuals in the field of Chinese business having either lived there or knowing the Mandarin language. This is a book which you won’t want to skip if dealing with anything relating to deals or business in China.

⭐There’s some good information in there, but it’s about 50% content, 50% waffle. Half the size would have been a major improvement.

⭐. This book was excellent, contained a lot of useful information but in simple terms. I certainly picked up quite a few useful tips prior to my visit.
