what we think

R&P recently assisted the EU SME Centre to update their report “Knowing your partners in China”, which was published last July (free download at: http://www.eusmecentre.org.cn/report/knowing-your-partners-china). On 4 August 2015, R&P’s Beijing office head, Rogier van Bijnen, presented the key conclusions of this report during a Webinar organize by the EU SME Centre on “How to Check whether your Chinese Business Partner is Legitimate?” (http://www.eusmecentre.org.cn/it/event/2015-08-04/how-check-your-chinese-business-partner-legitimate) The Webinar was attended by more than 160 participants from all over Europe and China. During his presentation Rogier warned about the most recent scams in China and explained how foreign companies can protect themselves by conducting proper due diligence on potential partners.
