Why Going into China Half-Way is All The Way Risky

It is expensive and difficult for foreign-owned businesses to be formed in China. The following is the most basic list of what you need to do to form a Chinese entity:
Determine whether your business model is legal for a foreign business in China.
Form and register your legal entity in China. This will typically be a WFOE, a Representative Office, or a Joint Venture.
Lease property (a prerequisite for the registration process above).
Draft an employee manual and execute written employment agreements with all of your employees.
Open a bank account with a Chinese bank.
Figure out and pay all of your taxes, including company taxes, employee taxes, and social insurance payments for your employees.
Apply to register your trademarks, copyrights and patents in China.
