The People’s Republic of China PRC or
China, for short has had a long tradition of isolation. In 1979, Deng Xiaoping
opened this country to the world.
China is rapidly trying to close the
gap between itself and economically advanced nations and to establish itself as
a power in the world economy. China is actively trading in world markets, is a
member of the WTO, and is a major trading partner of the United States. Despite
this global presence, many U.S. and European multinationals still find that
doing business in the PRC can be a long, grueling process. Very few outside
firms have yet to make a profit in China. One primary reason is that Western-based
MNCs do not appreciate the important role and impact of Chinese culture.
