Cosmo: I have just read your post #4546, and with keen interest, as I well know you are a seasoned expert in that sector and on the specific characteristics of China, and how to close deals there. It does seem to me, both from your resumé of your experience in facing similar step-by-step problems in China and from all I learned as a bonus from teaching Chinese graduate students and hearing all their input, that the groundwork and attention to detail needed to achieve results can be challenging, but the eventual rewards can be phenomenal.
