Thanks for joining us. As a Business Investor, you have a strong interest in promoting economic growth. Now you need to get a mental picture on how key issues in China relate to this overall goal. You'll be guided to look closely at three main issues and to find examples (facts, statistics, quotations, or any other Inputs*) that you think provide important insights on the issues. After you've collected three examples for each issue, your job will be to put the information together into one statement that tells a "Truth" about that particular key issue related to doing business in China. You'll do this three times.
