The promises that you keep, the restrictions that you follow, the decisions that you make... 

The decisions to stretch yourself, place yourself in situations unforeseen and let yourself be vulnerable. To experience the highest of highs and lowest of lows, to enjoy the not-too-often smooth gliding phases, smile at same frequencies and rub each other’s tears at times. We do them, not for pious beliefs, cultural routines or obligatory circumstances, but for this unfathomable phenomenon, called LOVE.

What is it? What is it that is behind the greatest victories and miserable battles of human history? Is it the one that keeps you longer during the nights? The one that increases your appetite and ignites extra-motivation? 

Love makes you think of spring cherry blossoms, hear soft calming rain and feel the warmth of family in the most unanticipated corner of Earth. You come across beings, not always with the same personality traits, ideologies and choices. But then...

Suddenly somehow, you realize how your study room conversations at past midnight and random encounters lead to dancing at balls, finishing large packet of buttered popcorns and laughing at the top of your lungs. 

For much of the past two decades, China has been a central destination for business and foreign investment — mainly due to its sheer size as a market but also because of its prolific manufacturing base and bulging middle class. However, the climate for foreign companies in China has been steadily worsening in recent years. Foreign companies have faced an increasingly challenging environment as rising geopolitical tensions, tightening regulations, and a shifting competitive landscape present fresh hurdles. With an increasingly demanding market, and the political, economic, and legal roller coasters that Beijing often presents to foreigners in China; you may be left wondering how your firm can compete in a market that is becoming more difficult to navigate every day.
