Strategies of Entering China Market

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 22:49:11 GMT

Strategies of Entering China Market

Strategies of Entering China Market

There are many foreign companies want to enter China market with the fast development of economy in China. However, a foreign firm must choose an appropriate strategy to enter China market.

There are three fundamental strategies that can be used to enter the China market: 1) export via a Hong Kong distributor; 2) export via direct channels in China; and 3) set up a joint venture. Each strategy has advantages and disadvantages.

Market entry via a Hong Kong Distributor is probably the easiest and quickest way to enter China but may be the least desirable in terms of overall market penetration.

Market entry via direct channels in China is probably more difficult and time consuming than entry via a Hong Kong distributor, but in time may be better off for a firm's overall penetration. This option may be a good mid-term strategy.

Market entry via a joint venture of some kind may be more difficult and time-consuming than the other two export strategies just mentioned, but probably yields the best overall penetration of China's market. Utilizing this strategy, both sides (the foreign firms and the Chinese party) could gain the most benefit.

China is a huge, fragmented market. Thus, firms may need to utilize more than one of the above strategies to adequately penetrate the market.

Moreover, there are a number of market entry strategies to pursue in China; each strategy has its own advantages and disadvantages. The specific strategy a firm chooses will depend on how the Chinese "view" the foreign firm’s entering their market, the demand for the firm’s product in China, the rate of growth of demand for that product, a firm’s resources to enter the marketplace, and the time horizon to enter. While the Chinese may never open their markets completely, because many feel that they would lose more than they would gain, it is still possible to penetrate the China market in a significant way.

There are many different regions in China at various levels of sophistication. Similarly, just as there is not only one market entry strategy in China, there is more than one type of buyer in China. Experienced and successful companies know that China is not one market, and they have learned to analyze and segment the various areas. To be successful, companies will need multiple point of entry and may need to combine various market entry strategies to fully penetrate the market.

Tips for Your Resume to Win a Job in China

Tips for Your Resume to Win a Job in China

Developing a resume is the first step in a successful job search in China. Your resume is like your personal movie trailer. An effective resume will quickly highlight who you are, where you can be reached, and information about your most recent educational or training experiences. Here are 7 tips for writing a Chinese style resume, made your resume to capture your employer’s interest, so they’ll want to know more about you.

1. No matter one page or two

If you read enough books or talk to enough people who "know" about resumes, you'll come across a rule stating your resume should be only one page long. It's time to let this myth go, along with the resume handcuffing it spawns.

It's great if you can do this. But if you end up leaving out so much good material that you destroy your interview chances, what good have you done?

Remember: A human will read your resume. Some readers demand your resume be one page. Others will read a two-pager without hesitation. You don't know who's who, but the point still remains: a one-page rule simply doesn't exist.

2. Experience section go first

In most cases, it makes sense to put the Education section at the beginning of your resume, since you're a college student or recent grad. But if you've got a lot of great internship, co-op or work experience closely related to your chosen field, position your Experience section ahead of Education.

Here's another resume area where there's no rule: Put it where it makes the most sense for you and your particular skills and experiences.

3. Include GPA on the resume

If it's above a 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). If not, try to make it look better by highlighting your major GPA instead of your cumulative one or calculating your GPA for the last three or four semesters, for example.

4. List both the school address and permanent address

List both -- as long as you can actually be reached at both. If not, use the address where an employer will actually be able to reach you for the next few months.

5. Do not ignore your skills and valuable experience

For starters, don't overlook or ignore the skills you've gained from jobs you've taken simply to get through school. You've also gained valuable experience from:

Your foreign-language study.

your alternative experience like studying abroad or conducting research.

Your computer and Internet use.

Extracurricular activities.

6. Highlight nonpaying work and volunteer experience

Employers are interested in your skills, not whether or not you've been paid to learn them. So don't hesitate to highlight nonpaying work and volunteer experiences if they've given you bragging rights.

7. Highlight something extraordinary

Generally, no -- employers aren't likely to care about it much. There are exceptions, of course. Suppose you won a national award in high school, or you accomplished something extraordinary. Then you should highlight it, especially if it's connected to your chosen field.

Four Advices for Foreigners Working in China

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:12:34 GMT

Four Advices for Foreigners Working in China

China now attracts millions of people from all over the world. The experience of working in China will be memorable. But are you clear about the China work situation, the type of job, the workplace and the salary? The following will give a detailed information of them.

Type of Job for Foreigners in China

Currently, most foreigners in demand in China are English teachers, and these offers are mostly provided by schools. Schools are classified into public schools and private schools. A few private schools promise a high salary in advertisements, however, after having worked there you may find out that a few private schools couldn't arrange a Z or F visa for you to work in China, and it would be difficult to get the entire salary they promised before, for reasons that they don't take in enough students or the quality of you classes is not good enough. And of course, it is illegal to wok in China without a Z or F visa, while in public school, there is a Foreign Affairs Office that will assist you in your work and daily life, provide better accomodation for foreign experts, and the salary is paid entirely according to the contract.

City to Work for Foreigners in China

It seems that most foreigners are only familiar with several big cities in China, like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and focus on jobs in these cities. As a result, there are more applicants and competition there, which leads to a relatively lower salary because of the much higher living cost than that in other cities.

Salary for Foreigners in China

If you don't have any special reasons to work in big cities, it would be a better choice to work in a relatively smaller city, where the salary is almost the same as that in big cities but the living cost is much lower, and what's more, the scenery is usually more beautiful and the local people are more friendly.

Time of Job Hunting in China

Compared with other positions, foreign teacher is a little bit special. The best time to find teaching work in China is in September, when the schools return, or in February, just after the winter holiday, although there are thousands of short summer school placements from June to September. And meanwhile, other positions have no special requirement.

Challenging Conditions the Foreigners May Encounter in China

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:12:00 GMT

Challenging Conditions the Foreigners May Encounter in China

You must have so many problems to cope with in China whose culture, custom and living habit is totally different from yours. Here we sort out 6 most challenging conditions the foreign people may encounter and be sure make a good preparation before you arrival in China.

1. Different Living Standard

Because China is a developing country, living conditions and standards are considerably lower than in the West. What your employer considers “suitable and customary housing,” will most likely not meet with your Western definition of it. Plan on the need to hire a cleaning service to scrub down your apartment shortly after arrival or mentally prepare to do it yourself (you can hire a good cleaning lady to come in for several hours per week for about 24 dollars per month). For the most part, furnishings are stark and utilitarian only. As a rule, only the bathroom will have hot running water provided by a hot water heater wall-unit connected to a shower head attached to the wall, with no shower stall or curtain. You will need to buy a sponge mop to push the water down a drain after taking a shower.

2. Lack of Entertainments

There is only one English-speaking television station in China; CCTV-9 and not all cable companies carry it as part of basic service. Many of expats rely on the abundance of cheap (pirated) DVDs available in China for entertainment. You can plan on purchasing a DVD player. You can bring your stereo to China if you want, but you also bring an adapter. China uses alternating current of 220V. Please plan accordingly.

3. Different Social Value

Keep in mind that Westerners typically operate from an internal-locus of control whereas the Chinese operate far more on an external-locus of control. That is, Westerners greatly value independence, autonomy and self-determination (and believe that success is mostly the result of hard work) whereas Chinese put far greater emphasis on luck, group norms and “fitting-in” (and believe that success is mostly the result of good luck and who you know through networking relationships, I.e., “guanxi”). Whereas Westerners are far more likely to assume responsibility for their mistakes and actions, and are quick to apologize for wrongdoings, the Chinese are far more likely to attribute their faults to a “misunderstanding” on your part and are extremely reticent to apologize as this constitutes a considerable loss of face, i.e., “mianzi”). The best way to handle this situation is to “give” the Chinese face by agreeing to the presence of a “misunderstanding.” In this way, you have “earned” considerable relationship points and are technically “owed” at a later time (and this is one very good way to build guanxi).

4. Different Style and Manner

It is very important not to attribute the same type of motivation to the Chinese that we naturally would to a Westerner. One of things was found very difficult to adjust to was the manner in which organizational bureaucracy affects even the simplest of requests. Sometimes a simple request will not be responded to because the wrong person was addressed and he/she did not want to lose face by directing you to the right person. (And, at other times, depending on the employer, you are actually being ignored and disregarded. But, sometimes, knowing the difference can be a very difficult call and learning that difference is often simply the result of experience and biding your time. If you don’t already have an enormous amount of patience before arriving in China, you will either develop it or you will eventually leave the country in frustration.) The Chinese simply operate on a very different timetable than westerner do and there is no getting away from that.

5. Different Building Construction

Only buildings taller than eight floors seem to have elevators. For some, this is an opportunity to get some exercise.

6. Different Personal Value

China is grossly overpopulated and, as such, personal space is at a premium. Expect people to occasionally cut in front of you while you are waiting in lines. You can either accept it or quietly, gently but decidedly reclaim your space – the latter is readily accepted because it is understood.

Most Popular Foreign Language Teachers in China

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:04:35 GMT

Most Popular Foreign Language Teachers in China

Which language are you good at? In China, Japanese teacher, Korea teacher, French teacher, German teacher, Spanish teacher and Italian teacher are the most popular.

Japanese Teacher

There is a growing number of Chinese people learning Japanese, the main reasons are, first, Japanese culture is welcome in China; second, Japanese is regarded as an useful language in business and society contact; the third reason is due to Chinese neighbourhood in geography with Japan. We may learn from the above that Chinese people learning Japanese is mainly because of the benefit in business. And you must be very popular too in China schools if you are a foreign teacher teaching Japanese.

Korean Teacher

There has been a hot period of recent two years of Chinese people’s Korean training, dates from 2004 when it was difficult to get the visa to Japan for study, many people change their studying abroad destination from Japan to Korea whose aspects are quite like Japan’s; the second reason is larger number of Korean investment enterprises’ flooding in China, causing the scarcity of Korean talents, as a result, Korean teachers may surely enjoy a big market in China.

French Teacher

French is a very romantic language, but this is not the reason it is called “ the language of love”. In linguistics, “romance”, “romantic” and “love” have no relationship. French is Latin, and it has many things in common with English, even some of the same word spelling with its only difference in their pronunciation. French is always regarded as the most melodious language in the world, it is the official lauguage of France, Canada, Belgium and Swiss, etc. The major French learners are young students and white-collar workers for their interest and working and studying abroad needs and you are sure to be in good grace in the students if you are a French teacher in China.

German Teacher

German is the Germanic branch of Indo-European, enjoying 120,000,000 speakers in the world. It is the official language of Germany, Auatria and Swiss as the key language of EU and new East-Europe economics. The Chinese people are learning German out of their needs on jobs though they often communicate with their German colleagues in English, but it may shorten their distances between them when they communicate in German. You may feel happy for this if you are a German teacher, right?

Spanish Teacher

Spanish is one of the 6 major working languages in UN, also the official language of 20 Latin America countries and regions including Spain, Argentina and Morocco, etc. You have to spend almost one year to teach a Chinese Spanish beginner to the basic communication in Spanish. Currently, most Spanish learners are learning out of studying abroad and working needs.

Italian Teacher

Italian is quite similar to Spanish, it is one of the Latin of Indo-European. Chinese are learning Italian out of the needs of economics and trade and work, other reasons are that some of them have to catch up the language for travelling. You will be congratulated if you are an Italian teacher, as you may surely earn so much money in China.

Qualifications the Foreign Teachers Should Have in China

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:05:02 GMT

Qualifications the Foreign Teachers Should Have in China

In recent years, China is brought in line with international practice. The number of foreign students ran up; at the same time bring more foreign teachers. The requirements Chinese students have on the foreign teachers are increasing. In order to be popular with the Chinese students, instructors should be noted these five major issues:

1. The Standard Pronunciation and Trueborn Foreign Culture

This is the most important distinction between the foreign teachers and the ordinary teachers, is also the root reason why a large number of Chinese students chose foreign teachers. Chinese students like the foreign teachers’ fluent foreign language; this will improve their ability of spoken language. And they also like the great differences of the two traditional cultures which the foreign teachers displayed.

2. The Lively, Interesting, Rich and Varied Manner of Education

The foreign education manner is a completely different with Chinese education mode. Although the course is just to teach a few sentences or a grammar, with body language, it can be vividly. With the interesting examples, the students’ enthusiasms are mobilized, and dare to speak.

3. Rich After-school Life

Chinese students are affected by the traditional thinking profoundly; they envy the rich extracurricular life of the foreign students. The foreign teachers share some of the after-school life with Chinese students, such as Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s Day, parties and movies, this teaching method can ease the tense atmosphere of learning. When celebrating, the foreign cultures come closer.

4. Equality on Students

In Chinese traditional education system, students and teachers is unfair, teachers require students to do so, students must submit to teachers and students eager to be treated equally. If the foreign teachers in the classroom to give students some choice, such as free to answer questions, not named in question, so that the students feel more free and comfortable.

5. Appropriate Encouragement

The teachers who give more encouragement to guide students enjoy great popularity, especially to the students with strong desire to learn English well, foreign teacher’s encouragement to their spoken English is essential; this can not only stimulate the students’ interest of learning, but also provide them with a sense of satisfaction and excitement during the learning process.

All in all, may be affected by the mass media, may be affected by the curiosity about the blond hair and blue eyes, may be affected by the foreign language learning passion, the Chinese students like the foreign teachers innately, it provide a solid foundation for the teaching and exchanging.

for Foreigners Who Are Willing to Teach in China

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:05:18 GMT

for Foreigners Who Are Willing to Teach in China

China has absorbed a large number of foreigners to work in China. People who want to find a job in china should pay attention the following things.

1 Salary

Salaries sometimes appear low by Western standards but the cost of living in China is very cheap. Schools that offer very high salaries usually "trim" the benefits, but as you will be spending a long time in China your personal comfort will very quickly become far more important than a few extra RMB. A cheap bed, lumpy sofa and old computer with expensive dial-up will soon have you wishing for a better life.

2 Accommodations

Check the Appendix that is sent to you, it will list all the main items. If you need more items than are provided and they are not unreasonable requests, asks your employer, they will usually oblige. You are not expected to bring household items. However, sometimes departing greedy teachers who are going elsewhere in China after their contract term remove most of the small items and this has caused some schools to limit items provided, or ask for a security bond.

3 Contracts

As the future of students is reliant upon their education standard, it is very important that teacher/student relationships are established. This cannot be achieved in a couple of months. China is seeking teachers who will commit to long-term contracts. It has been my experience that teachers who contract for two semesters are treated very differently from those who can only stay for a short time.

4 Medical Cares

Sometimes foreigners are hesitant to use Chinese health care facilities. You shouldn't be afraid, because as a foreigner you will be given very special treatment - if you need it. The standard of medical services in China is very high, while also very cheap when compared to Western services. I suggest that you have evacuation insurance and maybe general health cover.

5 Airfare

This is the subject that causes the most arguments, it is also the thing that has been most abused by foreign teachers in the past who have enjoyed holidays to or from China, or demanded the face value on the ticket. It is also the most expensive item for the school. Please be sensible when buying your ticket; economy class by the most direct route will rarely be challenged.

6 Additional Income

You will be expected to devote yourself to your students and teaching. The face-to-face working hours are commensurate with those of West. Therefore, you may find it very exhausting to work two jobs. Your salary is very high compared with Chinese teachers, and they are not permitted to have second jobs.

7 Bicycles

Don't be too concerned if your school does not provide a bicycle, often they are a bigger liability than they are worth, especially when they are stolen. If you want you can buy one and give it as a reward when leaving to your best and most attentive student.

8 "What to Wear"

Sometimes administration officials will make indirect comments about "dress" so that you do not loose face. Although the teaching profession is amongst the most conservative sectors of Chinese society, as a foreigner you will be afforded a lot of latitude in most things. Look around you and use common sense.

9 Applications

Some people think that religion is not important, but as most often meals are provided I am sure you don't want the school officials to loose face by serving you a taboo food. Also, schools work weekends before national vacations and some religions don't allow this. If the school knows in advance, they can work around it.

10 Visa

As it is becoming more and more difficult to convert travel "L" visas to work "Z" visas, only travel on a travel visa if you are directed to do so by TEACH CHINA, in which case it will have been approved by the Foreign Affairs Office. Do do otherwise could result in big problems.

FAQs for Teaching in China as a Foreigner

You must have many questions when you come to China for teaching from another country. The following may give you the answer of the most frequently asked questions.

1 Do I get paid a fixed salary?

All expenses such as accommodation, the previous list of benefits, airfare reimbursement, Holiday bonus, health care, Temporary Residency Permit, etc. are paid for or provided by your host university/school, in accordance with SAFEA Regulations. The set-down salary will not be liable to taxation and is usually for 14-16 hours of face-to-face teaching per week. Face to face hours worked in excess of these hours is usually paid as overtime.

2 What will my accommodation be like?

SAFEA Regulations stipulate that during your entire contractual period in China, you shall be provided rent-free a fully furnished apartment of similar standard to a 3 Star Hotel. Usually the apartment will be on campus and include one bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom/ toilet, etc. Do not expect too much and you will not be disappointed.

3 What is the usual contract period?

Chinese universities/colleges/high schools normally require that you sign the SAFEA employment contract for at least two semesters (each of 41/2 months, plus a paid six week holiday). If you cannot commit yourself for two semesters for any reason, you may also be welcomed to sign a contract for only one semester.

4 What happens if I get sick?

Basic health care is provided by the clinic or hospital nominated by the school and they will usually ensure you are covered for the costs of unexpected medical expenses should you suddenly take ill or have an accident. If you require comprehensive insurance, we suggest you take out private cover before leaving home.

Should your accommodation be provided off campus and be in excess of ten minutes walking distance from the school, your school will usually subsidize public transport. In most instances your accommodation will be provided on campus.

A bonus of RMB 2,200 will often be paid during your school holidays (either summer or winter) to help offset the additional expenses of your holiday within China. The allowance is only payable if you commit to two or more semesters. Sometimes this is paid as a bonus at the completion of your contract, at other times, not at all if the school provides you with paid vacations within China.

11 May I get a bicycle to use?

The schools quite often provide you a bicycle for your 'exclusive' use with unlimited kilometers allowance. However, repairs and maintenance will be at your expense, collision waiver insurance is unprocurable, and you will need to provide an anti-theft device.

During the National Holidays, the school administration will normally organize various celebration activities and visits to many of the significant and historical sites within the province, often providing you with free accommodation, transportation and meals.

Useful Advices for Foreign Teachers in China

Useful Advices for Foreign Teachers in China

Want to be a foreign teacher in China? But do you make enough preparation? Maybe you have no sense about the wage position as a foreign teacher, how to choose a good school, the Chinese contract and living of China. Here are 8 situations you need to get notice if you wish to teach in China, hoping to be helpful.

1. Teaching English as a second language is very tiring.

It’s not particularly difficult, especially if you are a native speaker and you can remember basic grammar, but it can be extremely draining especially if the English level of your students is particularly poor. Teaching English as a foreign language is not for everyone; it requires the patience of job and a great deal of dedication and commitment. Teaching English in China is not an “easy gig,” such that it is truly very tiring work.

2. Choose your school very carefully, and it’s better to choose the reputable schools.

Research the school extensively by reading reviews on the forum (and on others) and by soliciting comments from other members on EFL forums. There are significant differences in how contracts are honored and in how foreign teachers are regarded and treated from school to school. Although one negative report may not be sufficient cause for you to entirely eliminate the school as a choice, a pattern of negative reports should definitely dissuade you. Before accepting any teaching position, ask the foreign affairs officer (FAO) or Western recruiter for the contact information of, at least, two teachers; preferably of one who has already completed his/her contract. And you’d better choose the reputable schools. If you receive any resistance or hesitation whatsoever when asking for this information, especially in regard to past teachers, treat it as a big red warning sign and stay away.

Furthermore, the reputable schools are authorized by the government to hire foreign experts and will send you the proper paperwork for you to obtain your Z-Visa (work Visa) before coming to China. If a school urges you to come to China to work on a L- or F-Visa (promising conversion to a Z-Visa after arrival), that may be a warning sign that the school is not authorized to hire foreign experts. You should not come to work in China with anything but a Z-Visa.

3. Contracts do not have the same meaning in China as they do in the West.

Contracts, although steadfast in the West, are far more fluid in China. Do not necessarily assume that ambiguous wording in the contract is the result of a poor or inaccurate translation. Ambiguity in the contract will always work against you in the event there is a dispute later on. If something is unclear to you, ask as many questions as you need to in order to clarify the meaning. Then modify the contract to include the clear meaning as reported to you by the school.

4. As a rule, it is safer to teach for public (government regulated) schools and universities than it is for private English language schools.

If you do not meet the basic requirements, you may have little choice but to work for a private school which will typically fabricate your credentials. The greatest abuses occur in private English language schools, in part, because they know teachers who do not meet the basic qualifications have fewer choices and will, more likely than not, tolerate whatever conditions they are presented with. If you are working at a teaching job in China that you otherwise would not qualify for back home you can expect, as a rule, to be disregarded, unappreciated and exploited.

5. Don’t engage the service of recruiters and pay commission fees.

The overall demand for foreign teachers is greater than the supply. It is completely unnecessary to use recruitment agencies and services to secure a good job. It is always better to trust your own discretion and judgmentthan to rely on the integrity of anyone who stands to personally gain from your employment.

6. Wage position of the foreign teachers.

Salaries in mainland China typically range between 3500 to 6000 RMB per month, depending on the qualifications of the teacher and, to a lesser degree, on location. Some private English language schools will offer more and, a few, less. You should not accept less than 3500 RMB per month. There seems to be something of an unwritten ledger sheet, among all the schools, where remuneration is concerned. When considering the remuneration, look carefully at the total package – factor in total work hours (hours required for face-to-face teaching, grading papers, English corners, office work, etc) against salary, quality of housing, paid holidays as well as medical and other benefits.

Top 6 Tips You Never Miss before Renting a Car in China

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 19:59:47 GMT

Top 6 Tips You Never Miss before Renting a Car in China

When it comes to renting a car in China, there are many factors you should consider. Then how to rent a car with ease? The six tips below will help you get car rental without trouble in the rear.

1. Terms and Conditions for Car Rental

The first thing you will need to know is the terms and conditions for renting a car in your area of China, or in the location where the car will be driven. This applies to both renting a car and renting a car service. The two most important are that the driver must be a certain age, and must carry a legal driver’s license. Others will be specified by different areas. In some cases, a credit check may be implemented.

2. Your Driving Record

Make sure you have a clean driving record. Many car rental companies will reject drivers who have traffic violations that include recurring speeding tickets, DUIs, and even seatbelt violations.

3. Renting Deposit

Most car rental companies in China will not accept a cash deposit for renting a vehicle. This is because rental companies need a guarantee of payment for the services they will render, so you will be required to use a credit card in order to make your deposit. As stated above, a credit check may be run before the transaction is even put through, and you may be rejected if that check shows you to have bad credit.

4. The Right Size

Know the size vehicle you will need. This will most likely depend on the number of people traveling with you, and where you are going. If you will be driving on rough terrain, you will want a vehicle equipped to handle it. If you are driving around a city, a smaller car might work for you.

5. Rental Fee

Know how much you are willing to spend on rental fees. The cost can sometimes vary greatly from one company to another, so it really pays to check around before actually making a decision.

6. Car Check

If more than one company offers you the same or a similar price, compare the services each offers. Also check the types of cars each company has available. The last thing you want is to get stranded in a car that was doomed from the beginning. Most car companies perform a regular check of their vehicles, so this may not be an issue. Know the terms of each company, and be sure they are clearly understood. This will help you through the process from beginning to end.

9 Types of Hidden Fees You Need to Notice in Renting Vehicles in China

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:00:33 GMT

9 Types of Hidden Fees You Need to Notice in Renting Vehicles in China

Have this happened to you: you’ve booked a great deal on a rental car, only to find the price skyrocketing as your bill is rung up at the rental counter. In the end you are paying almost double the rate you have expected? Where are these extra rates from?

There are many kinds of extra charges the car rental companies can add to your bill; the following are some common ones you should not ignore.

Taxes and Airport Surcharges
According to different policies in some countries, the fees for car rental will include taxes ranging from 10%～30%.The prices you see online always include this. Unfortunately, you probably can't avoid state and local sales taxes.

Mileage

Be careful of the mile limit per day. Check this point with the company, otherwise you will pay more than you have expected.

Gasoline Charges
You will often pay a high premium for returning a car with an empty tank, so in most cases you'll want to fill up before you return your vehicle.

Drop-Off Charges
An extra fee is usually charged if you return a car to a different location than where it was picked up. Different companies will have different price. However in China you will not worry about this problem much, for most of the companies will not allow you to do this. But attention is needed.

Early Return Fees
You might imagine that returning your car a day or two early would be a good thing for your car rental company, but unfortunately you'll most likely be dinged for that too. Many car rental companies will charge you for early returns.

License Fees
Generally speaking, some car rental companies will charge extra to recover the costs of licensing their cars, usually between 3 and 8 percent of the cost of the rental. You may not be told about this fee in advance, so make sure to ask.

International Driving Permits
Renting a car and driving it in a foreign country is not the same as in your home country. The car rental company will ask you to have an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is basically just a piece of paper that translates your information into 10 different languages and is recognized by over 150 countries. Remember that you can do this job in your own country.

GPS Rental

If you want a GPS in your car, be prepared to pay certain fee for this service also.

May be buying your own and taking it with you.

Upsizing and Reduced Fuel Economy

Last but not least, it is also common for an agency to run out of cars in a certain size class. In such cases, the standard practice is to upgrade you to a larger vehicle. That’s all well and good, except that bigger get worse mileage, and you might find yourself spending far more gas than your expectation.

Five Tips for Renting a Car in China

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:00:50 GMT

Five Tips for Renting a Car in China

As we all known, China is a country with a large population. Facing the holiday and festivals, the car rental market in China would be in a comparative disorder situation. So if your trip to China is near the holiday, and you also want a car, you would need to pay attention to some details.

A Reservation in Advance

As a rule, the National Day in China is a peak for car renting. It is impossible for you to rent one three or four days before the holiday, let alone the idea of renting one in the holiday. So a reservation about one or two weeks in advance is need.

Choosing a Right Company

In order to attract more customers, many companies would provide many discounts or special services. However, low quality is not equal to satisfied service. Choosing a company with a large scale is very important, for there would be many illegal deals lie in some small companies.

Car’s Status Checking

Never neglect this step. Because of the holiday, some companies will enlarge their sources of vehicles to meet the growing need. Then the quality of the vehicles would be various. Before you decide to rent one, you should have a full view at the car you want, if necessary, ask some friends to help you. In a word, this step is a guarantee for a pleasant trip.

Handling Car Damage

Nobody wants to allow some small things to disturb their trip, but due to the large amount of people going out, some car damage to your car would be possible. Although the car rental companies always buy insurance including all risks for the car, about 20 percent of the loss amount is for the renters’ part. What’s more, the scuffing of the car will need the traffic police’s proof.

Returning the Car on Time

There would be some unforeseen change according to your arrangements due to the holiday in China. Try to return the car on time. If you can’t, study the rules for further rental in advance, otherwise you would find this problem is much more difficult for you to rent a car.

Tips for Choosing a Car Rental Company in China

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:01:07 GMT

Tips for Choosing a Car Rental Company in China

When it comes to choosing a car rental company in China, there are several important factors to be considered. The following are tips that will help get you started, and bring you that much closer to making your decision.

The first thing you will need to know is the terms and conditions for renting a car in your area, or in the location where the car will be driven. This applies to both renting a car and renting a car service. The two most important are that the driver must be a certain age, and must carry a legal driver’s license. Others will be specified by different areas. In some cases, a credit check may be implemented.

Most car rental companies in China will not accept a cash deposit for renting a vehicle. This is because car hires and rental companies need a guarantee of payment for the services they will render, so you will be required to use a credit card in order to make your deposit. As stated above, a credit check may be run before the transaction is even put through, and you may be rejected if that check shows you to have bad credit.

Know how much you are willing to spend on rental fees. The cost can sometimes vary greatly from one company to another, so it really pays to check around before actually making a decision.

If more than one company offers you the same or a similar price, compare the services each offers. Also check the types of cars each company has available. The last thing you want is to get stranded in a car that was doomed from the beginning. Most car rental companies perform a regular check of their vehicles, so this may not be an issue. Know the terms of each company, and be sure they are clearly understood. This will help you through the process from beginning to end.

Be careful When Renting Cars in China

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:39:35 GMT

Be careful When Renting Cars in China

Many foreign want to rent a car in China but they don't know the things which should be considered when rent a car. The following will give you useful information on renting a car in China.

Your Rights When You Reserve a Rental Car in China

If you have reserved a car and the company does not have the car you reserved available for you, the company must do everything it can to find you a different car from its fleet. If the only available car is more expensive, you don’t have to pay the higher rate. If no car is available, you can rent from another company or take a taxi and then seek reimbursement from the original car rental company.

Making a reservation is a two-way street. Nearly all rental car companies charge penalties for four-wheel drives, minivans, convertibles and other specialty rentals if you fail to cancel a reservation in advance or are a no-show. Some companies are testing similar policies on their standard rental cars.

Requirements to Rent a Car in China

Virtually all rental car companies will refuse to rent to certain people. Here are the three most common groups that have trouble renting a car: Young drivers, people without credit or debit cards and people with bad driving records.

Instead of screening you, some rental car companies may require you to sign a statement that says you have an acceptable driving record. If you have an accident and signed a statement that turns out to be incorrect, the rental car company could use it against you by claiming that you acted in violation of the rental agreement.

Rental Rates and Fees

Rental car companies charge rental fees as well as many other special fees and charges. Here’s the low-down:

1. Rental Rates

Rental car companies usually charge rental rates per day of the week. The rate may include unlimited mileage. Or, you may be charged per mile for each mile over a certain limit. Many companies offer lower rates for weekend or week-long rentals. Also, members of organizations, such as the American Automobile Association, often can get discounted rates.

2. Other Fees and Charges

Most car rental companies tack on a number of additional fees and charges. They must notify you of these fees before you sign the rental agreement. Here are the ones you’re most likely to encounter: fees for renting at Beijing airport, additional driver fees, young driver fees, child safety seat fees, vehicle drop-off fees, refueling charges and others.

How to Save money on Renting Car in China

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:01:32 GMT

How to Save money on Renting Car in China

Don’t you think renting a car in China is a little expensive sometimes? There are some tips to save money when you rent a car.

Make your reservation as soon as you have decided on plans. Most Rental Car Companies increase their rates as reservations come in and their fleets become booked. Also, certain classes of cars will sell out and you may have to end up reserving and paying for a larger vehicle than you want.

Being flexible about your travel plans can save you money. Rental Companies that focus on the business or replacement market customers often have great weekend specials. The best rates are found during the off season and at other times when the Rental Companies have extra cars sitting around.

Check into booking your vacation as a package. You might be able to save by booking your car along with a certain airline, hotel or attraction ticket package.

Book the smallest car that you will need and hope for a free upgrade. But, remember you may get stuck with that small car.

Check into other size class vehicles. They may have extra cars in a certain class and be offering discounts for that size class.

Use coupons but read them carefully for exceptions. Most upgrade coupons are "based on availability", so if you have an upgrade coupon that you wish to use and also have a monetary discount coupon, bring them both. If they can honor the upgrade, they may still give you the monetary discount. Also, remember to book any coupons or discounts in your reservation. Apply any special discount programs for which you are eligible.

When you get to the counter, ask if there are any upgrade specials available, they might have some good deals.

FAQs for China Visa

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 21:34:39 GMT

FAQs for China Visa

Q1: When is the best time to apply for my Chinese visa?

The best time to apply for your Chinese visa is 1-2 months before your travel date. However, if you are running short on time, we can process your visa in 1 business day. For example, if you overnight your application to us on Monday, you can have it back in your hand on Wednesday morning with our same-day rush service.

Q2: How long is a Chinese visa valid for?

The Chinese Consulate now automatically issues 1-year multiple entry visas to US passport holders except in certain special situations. With a 1-year multi-entry visa, your visa is valid for 12 months from date of issue, and you can enter China any time during the 12 months while the visa is valid.

Q3: How long can I stay in China with a Chinese visa?

The time you could actually stay in China or "duration of stay after entry" is usually 60 days. However, a maximum of 90-day duration of stay is available upon request. To get 90-day duration of stay, you must write down such number on the Chinese Visa Application Form. If you did not specify the number of days on this form, you will be allowed 60 days. Please be reminded that the Chinese Consulate has the final say on the number of days you receive for your visa regardless of your request.

Q4: Do I have to send you my passport? Is it safe to send a passport?

Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Chinese visa is pasted on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa request cannot be processed without your original passport. Because of the importance of your passport as a travel document, we strongly suggest that you send your application in a secure way, using a traceable courier such as FedEx, UPS, DHL, Express Mail or Certified Mail. Please note that certified mail could take 7-10 business days to deliver.

Q5: I need Chinese visa for two people. Can I send them in one package? How should I calculate the fees?

When you send in application for more than one person, you could send all applications in one package. If all passports are to be returned to the same address, you need to pay only one FedEx return shipping charge. Chinese Consulate fees and our service fees, however, are on a per person basis.

Q6: Can I use my own FedEx account number for return shipping?

You are welcome to use your own FedEx account number for return shipping. To do that, you could either include a prepaid FedEx air bill or write down your FedEx account number on our Order Form.

Q7: I will travel between Hong Kong and the mainland multiple times. Do I need a multiple entry visa?

Yes, you do need a multiple entry visa for that purpose. Each time you enter China from Hong Kong and Macao, you need one entry.

Q8: I'm not a US citizen. Can you still process my visa application?

We help citizens of all countries get a Chinese visa if they are legally residing in the United States. Non-US citizens must submit a copy of their green card or valid US visa in addition to their original passport.

Q9: Do I need a visa for Hong Kong and Macao?

US citizens as well as citizens of most countries in North America and Europe can visit Hong Kong and Macao without a visa. Citizens of other countries can check the Hong Kong government website to see if you need a visa. You can also call us for such information.

Q10: I'm going to China on January 1, and my visa expires on January 10. Can I still stay for 30 days?

Yes, you can. As long as you enter China on or before the expiration date, you can stay for 30 or more days as specified on your visa. The duration of stay starts from the day you enter China.

How to lessen the impact of Culture Shock

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:39:34 GMT

How to lessen the impact of Culture Shock

Before leaving home, familiarise yourself with the new culture you’ll soon be living in. Read books, talk to people who have been there, explore this website. Find out about the living conditions of local people, the political situation, the currency, climate and what the cuisine is like. Pick up a phrase book and start practicing counting and simple greetings.

Familiarise yourself with the phases of culture shock. This knowledge is like a forecast of rough weather ahead. You’ll still have to weather the storm but you’ll be better equipped to cope well.

If at all possible take the opportunity of a "Look, See" visit to your new country. Not only will you get a taste for the real estate and other facilities you may need, but you’ll experience first hand the cultural contrasts you face.

When you do arrive at your overseas destination, arrange to spend at least 2 or 3 weeks in a hotel. This is the ideal time to orientate to your new territory, find out where your food can be bought, where the Post Office is, and what the tourist attractions are like. Organise your visa, ID card and drivers licence before your get caught up with settling into your new home or apartment.

Talk to someone about how you feel. Whether it’s your partner, a colleague or your friend back home share your feelings about your new home, good and bad. If this doesn’t help find a Cross-Cultural Counsellor who best understands what you’re going through and how to get through it. Talking with others who have felt similar emotions helps normalise what you’re experiencing, it’s okay to feel that way and it will pass.
