WIN+WIN
License Manufacturing, or Publishing, Contract Manufacture, Sales Agency, Venture Capital Investment, the actual transfer of shares: “Co-operation” has many meanings in Chinese.
Interestingly enough, almost as many meanings as “friendship”. You had better mean the same as your co-operation partner when you discuss “co-operation”, and written intents, even contracts cannot replace trust and transparency. Without a both-sided win+win, “co-operation” can quickly turn tricky, if not ugly.
A partner to share burdens or ventures with in China with may seem desirable, however, even with things outwardly looking just that way, going alone may still be the better option. If you have trust and a contract, that is good, but circumstances, personalities and their capacities must continuously justify both.
A difficult field to offer consulting in, manageable only with a lot of (intercultural) knowledge of human nature and with a large network of honest and proven persons. But as always between people, there is always a residual risk of disappointment.
