Country/jurisdiction entry note

Decide whether to test, how to localize, then whether the presence can stay trusted

Chinese outbound companies rarely buy a country profile for curiosity. They buy reassurance that the first move is reversible, the local partner will not control the company, and customer or regulator questions will not arrive before proof exists. The room therefore moves from first-market choice and preparation to mid-market setup, tax, labor, channel and cash questions, then to large-company scrutiny around politics, data, labor, subsidies and local value.
