This review is from: Secrets of Business Success in China (Amazon Instant Video)

I do accept the fact that Dr. Chan's experiences, knowledge, and advise are good even unique.

I do accept the fact that a 60-min program is not enough to talk about doing business in China, so he was quite limited in terms of time.

But the title should have been the "Basics of Business Success in China", not the secrets.

In short, do not expect to sell millions of products after you watched this program.

You can do so, if you hire Dr. Chan to market your product, there's no doubt about that.

But what he is talking about in this program is just a little spark. Can you burst it into the huge flames, and sell your product in China and achieve a business success? If you don't have any past experience on China, NO, you can't.

Do not expect a lot.

But if your expectations are low, if you do not have enough time to read a 300-500 page books on doing business in China, then watch this. He summarizes everything you need to know. The problem is, as I said above, if you don't have any past experience on China, you will not know what to get and when to get from this program, and it's even possible that you'll miss his point in more than one occasion. You may not even understand what he's talking about.

This review is from: Secrets of Business Success in China (DVD)

I've been working with James Chan to successfully build China markets for various products and services since 1983. We introduced to China sophisticated scientific infomation retrieval tools and a line of specialty chemicals used in high-tech applications.

In addition to helping me develop China marketing strategies, establish distributors, and execute promotional programs, James actually accompanied me to China on several trips to show the way and open doors.

Over the years, I've spent many hours with James and have absorbed a lot of his China wisdom. Much of what James has passed on to me can be found in this DVD. You can get a running start in developing your China expertise by watching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" for Students & Professionals, August 19, 2009

This review is from: Secrets of Business Success in China (DVD)

This is a great introduction into how to interact with ones Chinese counterparts, and is an excellent resource for international business/relations students and seasoned business professionals alike.

The points made on the DVD provide great insight into the complexities of the China market and mindset. Attempting to enter the market without an understanding of the basic nature of ones customers is futile--this DVD provides invaluable information to avoid missteps. While the market may change, the nature of ones counterparts in China will remain the same; if you are not fully aware & prepared for the nuances, you are wasting your time and money. The principles on the DVD are geared towards selling to the China market, but they can also be applied to purchasing from China.

Dr. Chan's knowledge of the China market is unquestionable. This DVD should be on the shelf at every university and chamber of commerce office.
