This paper provides a concise account of the field research conducted among public and private sector managers and entrepreneurs in the continental China. The author shares his personal experiences accumulated over several years through direct contacts and interactions with the Chinese business community, which as he explains is very diverse in their social, educational, professional background, as well as their attitudes and behaviour. The experiences are reinforced by the series of loosely structured face-to-face interviews the author completed with his Chinese business partners in the spring of 2012.
