To really understand China's economic development, one needs to
look at the history of individual projects. This applies in
particular to those who are considering a venture on site. This
book by Martin Posth is a unique document on the subject: evidence
of profound knowledge, didactically sound, with comprehensible
conclusions--simply readable!

Board, Siemens AG, Former Chairman of the German Asian-Pacific
Business Commission, Co-Chairman of the German-Chinese Dialog

Anybody wanting to be successful in China should heed the practical
lessons that Martin Posth draws.

In establishing the Volkswagen works in Shanghai at the
beginning of Deng Xiaoping's reform era, Martin Posth made a breach
in the wall behind which the People's Republic of China had dug its
trenches up until then. His experiences are useful for anyone
wanting to work the Chinese market with any degree of success. The
fascinating reading that his report makes, and heeding his lessons,
can help any entrepreneur to avoid costly mistakes.
—Dr. Theo Sommer, DIE ZEIT, Editor-at-Large
For the Chinese, this book by Martin Posth is a historic
document on the Open Door Policy for foreign investors. It is a
must-read.
