my academic training background was business and i converted myself into technical, that was not the prob.
the prob was i was darn american to blend in with local business clients. i was all active in presentations. but once sitting at dinning table, i did not know what to say. my sales to american clients were all successfull records and i suck with my chinese customers! this is what is keeping me from going back right now although one of my own business offices was there for 10 years before i closed it up.
