I am happy to share my most recent article 'Is China Open For Business Again?' featured today in the Diplomat, examining China's recent diplomatic approaches in order to invite back both civilians and private companies into the country again. "This, as well as Xi’s banquet for American business leaders, can be understood as the Chinese government’s attempt with growing urgency to signal: China is back open for business, both for private companies and tourists. When COVID-19 first emerged, the Chinese government put life – and its economy – on pause in favor of zero-COVID policies. In addition to low consumer spending and slow growth, thus emerged a myriad of economic challenges on multiple fronts for Chinese policymakers to confront: a looming real estate crisis, aging society, high unemployment especially among the youth, slow return of tourism, and increasing central decision-making within the private sector." https://lnkd.in/gmTJyFGq

I have been communicating with some friends these days and they all said they are preparing to do something they like. Friend A said that he will take time out of his busy schedule to operate his own social account and hopes to share his experiences and insights. Friend B said he was getting ready to do something he liked. Starting a business is important Yesterday, I had lunch with my friend B. She said that many things happened during chatting. Communication is really important for anything. Brainstorming to make the best decisions and implementing division of labor and cooperation can boost team morale. "Connection" is a key step at the execution level and involves many coordination details, including local cultural customs, laws and regulations, high and low context and other barriers. Now, finding professional bridges to collaborate with each other will break down barriers to entry, just like connecting to the Internet and surfing the Internet smoothly. Therefore, the importance of "connection" is a huge driver of the success of things. Especially now, more and more people are choosing the asset-light model to start or run a business. Effective "connection" promotes faster completion of business, that is, it can be established from stage 0-1 without huge investment. I and 雲. founded Nexus Alliance with the mission of helping foreign companies easily enter the Chinese market, compete in the world's second largest economy, and achieve high-quality growth and returns. As we all know, China is a vast country with 56 ethnic groups. Each region has its own unique culture and customs. It takes a lot of time to fully understand it, and the result is missed opportunities. #china #Entrepreneurship #sustainability #Business If you like this post, please share it with more people and explore interesting information together.

Should you go international? For the past year, I've been distilling insights from my meetings with other CEOs and founders into weekly emails for our Executive Network. Here are a few reflections on the topic of going international. 1 / Don’t let your entrepreneurial ambitions misguide you (do what’s working instead) Don't expand just for the sake of it. It's tempting to chase an entrepreneurial fantasy instead of strengthening your current position. Go international for the right reasons. If your home market has untapped potential, think twice. We've found it easier to grow by digging where you stand (where your product works) rather than jumping onto new markets. 2 / If you didn't start as a global company, expanding internationally will be tough If you're strong in your home market, international expansion will be tougher than if you were international from the beginning. Many companies that didn't start with an international focus, often end up running a mini-version of their business in every new market they enter. That drains a lot of resources from all teams and competes with the home market initiatives. And very few can shift their internal focus overnight. 3 / Dominating a niche is usually easier than breaking into a killer-competition market When I talked to one of my entrepreneur friends, we both agreed that our sweet spot is in the Nordics. Huge companies, will never go all-in on the Nordic market (as it's only a fraction of their total market). So, that's where we have our real advantage. We know Nordic customers better than any international players will ever do. Strengthening our existing position gives us an edge and a protected sphere to operate in. What’s your take?

Expanding globally is a thrilling new frontier for business growth, but it can be costly if you don’t understand the new territory and tax legislation therein. This insightful article highlights the importance of building a local team, networking with experienced individuals, and utilizing government resources when navigating the complexities of international expansion. I couldn't agree more with these strategies, as to me it’s about putting the right people in place and leveraging available resources to ensure a successful global transition. #InternationalExpansion #BusinessGrowth

🌍 In 2003, I ventured into the complex Chinese market for the first time. As an inexperienced executive, I grappled with the intricacies of conducting business in this unique environment. The cultural nuances, unspoken rules, and relationship-driven nature of Chinese business practices presented a multitude of challenges. Unfortunately, my initial foray into the Chinese market fell short of my expectations. 🚀 A decade later, in 2013, I was given an opportunity to return to China. This time, I adopted a more strategic approach, investing significant time and effort into immersing myself in Chinese culture, engaging local experts, and cultivating meaningful connections with key stakeholders. This shift in strategy transformed my experience, leading to a far more successful and fulfilling second venture into the Chinese market. 🌟 The key differentiator between my initial struggle and my eventual success lies in the power of genuine friendships. I discovered that business transactions are not merely impersonal exchanges; they are fundamentally about establishing authentic connections and building trust. By approaching business with a focus on fostering genuine friendships, I was able to navigate the cultural landscape more effectively, gain a deeper understanding of my clients' needs, and ultimately achieve greater success. ❤️A network of quality friends extends far beyond social circles, serving as a valuable resource for career growth and professional development. It opens doors to diverse opportunities, providing access to valuable information, mentorship, and potential partnerships. This expanded network can significantly accelerate one's path to success and maximize financial gains. 🌟 Wang Zhongjun, the founder of Haya Brothers Media Corporation, said, "Making friends is the primary productive force." For entrepreneurs and business professionals alike, friends become invaluable allies, offering unwavering support, guidance, and assistance throughout one's career journey. 🎉 Today, I am celebrating my 10th consecutive year in China, having successfully navigated the complexities of this dynamic market and established a thriving business and proud to have worked with Baidu, Xiaomi, ZTE, Tencent, Konka and many more as my clients. _____________________________________ 💡 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 & 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦 🔔 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴 & 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯 https://lnkd.in/g4u3YWhW   𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢'𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴, 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘴, 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴, 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 & 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺. #china #中国 #sales #entrepreneurship #guanxi #ccpn
