If only people had the common sense to look at what they are getting into when they begin to operate in places like China - this case demonstrates the importance of understanding the detail of how things are done.
China gets a bad rap when it comes to things like human rights and labour conditions, but this case is nothing to do with these issues - the problems have stemmed from the fact that business in China is done completely differently from the UK or the US.
It constantly gob-smacks me that companies do not do more work to understand new countries where they intend working. They do financial and legal due diligence, but don't think to do the same in relation to the social, ethical and environmental issues that will affect their business.
