Amazon's Description:
"108 Tips on Business, Travel, and Culture in China provides information about Chinese beliefs and expectations that any tourist will find useful and that anyone doing business in China will find invaluable."
"Narrated in an easy, conversational style and punctuated with cartoons and illustrations, 108 Tips manages to be both informative and entertaining. It is a must have for anyone hoping to understand Chinese culture and those who are involved in business with the Chinese."
~ Readers + Writers Journal
108 Tips on Business, Travel and Culture in China details a Hong Kong-born immigrant's some sixty years of dealing with the Chinese in the U.S. and in China: an experience narrated in a wry observational tone of voice that comes from one very active in the Chinese community in Hawaii.
Chapters reveal key customs and traditions in a progressive survey that opens with an introductory history and probe of Chinese cultural development before moving to the heart of matters: Chinese beliefs, various forms of communication (both verbal and non-verbal), and doing business in and traveling through China.
The juxtaposition of cartoon lessons, personal insights, and tips relating to Chinese relationships around the world make for a surprisingly easy read - surprising because even though some of these topics are touched upon or discussed in more technical books, most are dry deliberations that proffer such stilted analysis that a non-technical reader is hard pressed to truly absorb their meaning.
Those planning a serious business or personal relationship with mainland China's peoples simply must have this book. It's that unique, that accessible, and that highly recommended!
~ D. Donovan, MBR
"Funny, funny, funny! The witty illustrations, which can only be conceptualized through actual experience, provide great entertainment while making important points every business person must understand to effectively conduct business in China."
"Fantastic and refreshing book on China that is based on real experiences and case studies. It is informational, candid, and very funny."
