There is a dearth of accurate information and analysis on China's economic/business infrastructure available to the investment community. Using cases from his own experience and from the Asian press, Gamble shows, in no uncertain terms, the challenges of doing business in China, from real estate to joint ventures and beyond. It is possible to read the pertinent law in China - translations of statutes are available - yet determining exactly how the legal infrastructure works on the ground is difficult. Without proper guidance, discerning the infrastructure's impact on risk management, economic forecasting, or prospective business and financial operations is next to impossible. Gamble provides that information through a combination of legal research, economic analysis and investigative journalism. This book is vital reading for business executives, investors, and anyone concerned with China's business and economic environment.
