Administrators are wary
due to past experiences
Differing Political and Cultural Values
• A One Party System
• Liberty vs. Harmony
• Confucian Values
• China’s History
• China and the
US Election
How to work with
these issues
Prejudice in China
• Racial concerns
• Visa Issues
• How to increase diversity despite difficulties
Why Serviced Apartments not Home-stays or Dorms?
- Dorms tend to be far from CBD, and aren’t
compatible with working life
- Home-stays have their own issues and can hamper networking/enjoyment
- Important for keeping the high levels of organisation – logistics for events etc.
- language issues - what they need to bring with them - internet!!!
Why you need a team on the ground?
- China is not Europe! - Health & personal issues - Transportation, Logistics & Visas - Internship monitoring
- Company relationships - Events & feel good factor – learning from others’ experiences.

• The Great Wall of China & Tiananmen Square • Forbidden City & Summer Palace • Cultural and official capital of China • Hutongs & courtyard houses • Huge city with 24 hour buzz
