Whatever your reasons for being interested in China, China is a new global and economic power that you cannot ignore. You can start reading thick textbooks or journals to learn more about China or you find out FIRSTHAND through an easy and light-hearted manner from the ebook written by this ex-China expatriate.

The days of the western business dominance or cushy expatriate positions are over! Today, you are most likely to transact business - on Chinese terms - or accept a China posting - on Chinese terms!

Today, you need someone to give you the basics of living in China - on local terms and living amongst the Chinese population.

Once you are away from the main cities such as Beijing and Shanghai; or away from the main tourist resorts such as the Great wall of China, Tiananmen Square or Temple of Heaven, Beijing, you will need to eat, travel and move side by side with the Chinese.

You need to understand how the Chinese think, behave and react. This is extremely useful if you are working in China or doing business with the Chinese. In fact, the Chinese was a wise saying "Know the enemy, know thyself; a hundred battles, a hundred victories."

This is the absolute guide that you need for living, working and travelling with the Chinese. The author worked and lived in a small town in China and had travelled all over China for 6 years.
