Or "businessmen" for the plural. :) As for the question, I think that China is really coming of age as an industrial nation, the quality of their manufacturing and design is steadily improving. Obviously, the low price of labour in China puts it in a really good position compared to the rest of the world, in terms of being able to produce products and services at a really competitive price. I think Chinese businessmen sometimes face a problem when it comes to language/cultural barriers, this is probably their major hurdle at the moment. Effective communication, and understanding of the people you are dealing with, is a very important part of business, but this is a two way street. There is a reason that I am currently studying Chinese, it is because I believe that China will play a very important role in business, and in the advancement of society, both in the near and distant future. One thing that I think that the Chinese really have over the western world, is their interest in improving this understanding of foreign cultures in order to improve their relations. I think a lot of countries could learn from this example.

it should be "businessman"
