As a result, it\u2019s better to drill down into areas of focus. The media sector in Beijing isn\u2019t necessarily going to be in the same shape as the retail sector in Hangzhou. To succeed, you\u2019ll need to gather detailed, specific intelligence about the market segment relevant to your business, such as local customer preferences, competitive landscapes, supply chains and regulatory environments.<\/p><p>A good way to begin your intelligence-gathering is with organisations such as the Department for Business &amp; Trade, individual Chambers of Commerce here in the UK, or David\u2019s own organisation.<\/p><p>But while online research is useful, you\u2019ll want to schedule a visit to the country too. \u00a0Being on the ground allows you to meet potential partners, customers and industry experts.

The key is to establish a relationship where payment or compensation is linked to the success of the venture.

However, don\u2019t forget, says Pulfrey, there are 90,000 Chinese students in the UK\u2014often young, bright, ambitious and, crucially, well versed in WeChat and Weibo. Martin notes that football club Aston Villa took on a Chinese intern, locally-based in the West Midlands, to look after its social media for the Far East, with great results. And, he adds, for other companies, there\u2019s every chance that a person who starts off as an intern could one day prove to be a very useful contact if they ever decide to head home. With China, it\u2019s a long game.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e66998e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e66998e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2024\/05\/20240327031331810.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-32122\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2024\/05\/20240327031331810.png 160w, https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2024\/05\/20240327031331810-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5da4f2a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5da4f2a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WorldFirst<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2e32d8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a2e32d8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54ed00e8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"54ed00e8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d361027 Last3Articles elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"1d361027\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"blogs_container\">\n                    <div class=\"blogs_item\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/uk\/blogs\/business-with-china\/how-to-sell-on-wechat-marketplace\/\" class=\"blog_img_box\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/wechat.jpg\"\n                     alt=\"cover_img\" class=\"cover_img\" loading=\"lazy\">\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"blog_abstract\">\n                <h1>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/uk\/blogs\/business-with-china\/how-to-sell-on-wechat-marketplace\/\">How to sell on WeChat marketplace: A guide for global brands<\/a>\n                <\/h1>\n                <p>Interested in selling on WeChat?
