Monthly Roundtable
This is a monthly gathering for those interested or involved in China Business to discuss all issues related to doing business with or in the country. We believe these meetings will not only help people continue to network and expand their contacts, but also allow them to compare notes, share tips and learn from each other’s lessons and experience, thereby enabling them to be better informed, prepared and “equipped” in their China business pursuits.
