The first in the series, <strong>China Demystified\u201410 myth busters about doing business in China<\/strong>, provided a bird\u2019s eye view on the \u2018myths\u2019 vs. the \u2018reality\u2019 of what it\u2019s like to do business in China. Often there are more synergies than we know, and while China is a challenging market to navigate, it\u2019s not as mysterious as we think. Given the enormous size and opportunity of this market, it is important to debunk some of the myths, allowing us to unlock the potential for Canadian businesses to succeed.
