Expats in Asia > Working In Asia
The likeliness of a foreigner finding a non teaching job in China?
David S:
Maybe this goes under a new thread, but what about foreigners starting businesses in China? Opening a shop or having things manufactured there for export to the West? Does anyone have any experience in these areas?
Vince G:
Opening a business there is different then having something manufactured and exported. You don't have to be a residence for that. This I am doing in the near future.

Hi David,
It's a bit of a mine field,opening a business here. They have rules and regulations for everything, it gets especially tricky if you start employ staff. As Vince pointed out, having goods manufactured here for export requires no special paperwork. I source goods for mainly UK companies without too much trouble at all ,although sorting out the required certificates for shipping can sometimes be a headache. If you and a Chinese partner wanted to open a small shop I doubt you would have to face many problems,apart from finding vacant premises that is. The Chinese love to do business and an empty shop is viewed as an opportunity,rent and tax's are low. My wife and I are looking into this at the present time ,so in a few weeks I will be much more knowledgeable! My wife believes it will be simple enough, she already has her own company and is well versed in the whole thing. I am going to sit quietly on the sidelines and observe, it's often the best way here. ;D
