China is a very complex market. Small and medium-sized businesses do not have the same resources as large multinational companies to sort through regulations, conduct due diligence and assess business opportunities and risks.
Through email, face-to-face or online meetings with in-house or external experts, we offer tailored and confidential technical assistance to any EU SMEs or business organisations in need. Our services are free.
