The Chinese market, replete with 1.3 billion people is a very lucrative one that many strive to get into on a regular basis. However, you have to watch how you undertake such a business maneuver.

For example, the Google controversy in China that Clinton has stepped into, so to speak. I have not seen proof Google has been offensive in their claims, but Mrs. Clinton certainly has been in how she has gone about the matter.

I prefer Democracy to Communism and the latter is not an option for me, but at the same time I realize China is a foreign country with different rules from the Western world. You can't barge in there and tell them this is how it is going to be, Mrs. Clinton. You need to watch what you say to them, before you make things worse for everyone trying to do business in the region.
