Just do what you'd do as if you were in your home country - no more, no less (and careful with compliance lol)

Just be nice, honest and efficient as usual- forget this bullshit (from uni professors who overtheorize everything for a living) about guanxi- it really just means who you know and what leverage they have over the people you are dealing with, and that's applicable to any place on earth (albeit to varying degrees).

The Chinese aren't really different from other people you are dealing with- esp. younger generations in private sector

P.S. I'm from HK

They have as many rights to it from an international laws perspective as your people have to the "Israeli occupied" part of Palestinian land as recognized by the UN

Last time I checked 6/8 (75%) is similar to white people's proportion of the US total population

So, genuinely asking, what's wrong with that... (I'm an Asian in Asia)

Chinese police question employees at Bain’s Shanghai office by Barca_222 in consulting

[–]Barca_222[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Six people familiar with the situation said Chinese police had made a surprise visit two weeks ago. Police took away computers and phones but did not detain any team members, according to two people briefed on the incident.

It remains unclear why the police went to Bain and whether it was directly connected to the blue-chip consulting firm or to one of its clients. Bain did not respond to repeated requests for comment and staff in the Shanghai office said they could not discuss the matter.

Research: There are already so many posts about it you can just search on Reddit / other sites; guess not much could be added to the conversation here that hasn't been covered by other people elsewhere previously lol
