Succeeding in Asian Trade
Chin-ning Chu's book is a must if you want to make it work if you travel to Asia, especially China. What to expect, how things work, the mind of those you will be trading with.Chu's purpose in writing this book is the averting of what she would see to be a potential trade war between east and west. Can it be avoided, she thinks yes.
Having grown up in mainland China near the north, near Korea and living in Taiwan for years, a country with Japanese influence, she relates the expectations and approaches these cultures have. The differences and similarities.
Since she is an Asian, from Asia, with upbringing in these cultures, she can talk about it withtout ramifications. I recommend this to anyone working for or with an Asian company.

High Entertainment Value
I read this book many years ago and recall being hugely amused by it and its numerous stereotypes. In fact, I gave it to a sociology PhD candidate studying Chinese culture for a good laugh. I regret parting with it because it is quite a unique artifact, being quite comprehensive in its stereotypes of various Asian nationalities. Nevertheless, I can see the value of the book for those completely unfamiliar with Asian culture and desperately grasping for some way to categorize what seems to be inexplicable behavior, since the first response to unfamiliarity is to attempt to build categories to group and generalize. As such, I might recommend it, but only with the caveat that its contents should not be taken as authoritative. Similar Products
