I am always amazed by the Foreign newcomers in town who just arrived in China and tell you know nothing about China and that you are already too Chinese. In most of the cases, they overestimate themselves and fell blandly and quickly. I don't have sour feelings against these people and I give them some tips for survival:
1# China is not a bubble, it will not fade so easily;
2# Everything you have learnt in developed countries are only theoritical in China, you shall make a new assessment;
3# Stop trying to invent a China management model;
4# Frustration in China is unavoidable, keep going:
5# China is full of opportunities, if you can catch 1/100th of them you already are the king of the ring;
6# Don't overestimate your abilities, be humble;
7# Logistics are at the center of your success in China;
8# One-time deal doesn't exist, you shall have mid to long -term perspective in China;
9# Business: One China: no; Many China: yes;
10# You shall think China as no different to other markets, or you will not survive.
