✦ Synopsis
Investing in China has been one of the hottest and most critical issues in the everchanging business world since the early 1980s. Huge amounts of foreign investment poured into China during this period primarily because of China's huge market, plentiful cheap labor, and rapid economic development. Is the Chinese market profitable or just a peril? If it can prove to be profitable, how can the smaller and medium-sized players get into the game and learn the "secrets" of doing business in China? In fact, it is reported that small and medium-sized Taiwanese investors are doing better than are those of other countries. We would argue that using Taiwanese businesses as a model for doing business in China also might be appropriate for the small and medium-sized U.S. investor. Thus, the focus of this article will be to show how the Taiwanese model might be used successfully by small and medium-sized U.S. investors entering the Chinese market.
