As Chinese corporations begin their expansion into foreign markets, it is incumbent on us to keep pace with the cultural needs of our domestic clients. Succeeding in foreign markets often entails a detailed understanding of the cultural nuances in each new country. While modern technology has made us more mobile and agile, there is still no substitute for face-to-face meetings and the resulting goodwill that is created by these gatherings. At Chang Tsi & Partners, we are constantly adapting to the changing needs of our clients.
