I just came back from my first ever trip to China. The main objective of my trip was to learn about the Chinese market and to find potential partners to expand and/or launch our marketplaces (Voice123 and LetMeGo) in China.
As an avid history and geography reader, I thought I knew a lot about China and what to expect. Such knowledge, though, only represented a small fraction of the China that I actually experienced. The China that I experienced is a social, progressive, capitalist China. The China that I heard has more English speaking people than the United States. The China that I saw is so massive, that it can create its own standards and expect the rest of the world to follow. The China that I experienced was, in short, a China that is showing to itself and to the rest of the world that it can do as well as any other country, if not better. Unfortunately, it seems to be misinterpreted by the majority of the western society.
During the next few weeks, I will be writing several articles related to my trip to China. The topics will vary as I will try to cover many areas of my nine-day, five-cities, Internet-entrepreneurial, full of meetings, eye-opening trip.
