- Service? This concept does not exist in China
- Consistency of doing things logistically? Nop, things change quickly in China, always without warning. What worked last time may not work this time.
- Communication? Most Chinese people do not have good communication skill. Besides, what they say may not be what they mean, they may say it because they want to give you "face" or save "face" for their own selves. That is why you need a local person to accompany and help you read under the lines of your Chinese counterparts.
That is why you need a guide or translator who helps you plan your trip well in advance, and accompanies you during your trip. We know that each client group has its objective, so all our services in China are tailor-designed, according to your needs.
