Manufacturing Expansion, Legal Update and VAT News
At the July 20 quarterly webcast of Frost Brown Todd, Grant Thornton and East West Consulting, presenters covered a range of update information for US companies active in China. The challenges of operating, expanding and populating a profitable manufacturing operation were discussed in detail, with a helpful checklist of considerations to increase the odds of financial success provided. Legal updates were provided about employment (including for expats), intellectual property, national security review, national treatment, currency/inflation, tort liability and arbitration. A review of VAT and other taxes that apply to entity reorganizations concluded the session.

The group is not for complete beginners about China, but instead aims to create a network of people sharing common and uncommon experiences in trying for increased success in Chinese operations.
