What is the most effective way to do market research on the Chinese market? How do you do due diligence on a potential Chinese partner? You can always start with a market overview desk research in English (unless you can read Chinese), and you may find a lot of information available online. However, to get to the important issue such as whether your product will be acceptable to Chinese customers - it is not that straightforward. Some primary research would be advisable in addition to market overview desk research, where you should arrange for interviews and focus groups so people can give you their own opinions. You can do this through calling your contacts in China or hiring someone locally on the ground to talk to your potential customer(s). The latter is probably better due to the time difference. In terms of due diligence, public information is easily accessible if a Chinese company is listed in China. For a private company, some credit information companies may hold basic profiles on them and you can obtain these through a company registration report, particularly if the company exports. You can always have some form of tailored commercial due diligence done, by doing an online search in Chinese in combination with specialist interview calls with its customers, suppliers, staff and even its competitors. Your Chinese partner may well expect this, but it is best to do it discreetly so that no one loses “face”- a very important aspect of doing business in China.
