The words “China” and “business” are practically synonymous these days, with every other expat you meet claiming to be an entrepreneur who will take the nation by storm and make a million off the back of the dragon. Whether you’re a budding business brain yourself, or just like to keep abreast of Chinese business trends, here are some China business blogs, in no particular order, that you should add to your RSS feed.

4) ChinaSolved
A website offering “China business solutions”, China Solved is an online resource for international managers working in the Middle Kingdom.

5) China In Depth
This serious-looking black and white site definitely looks like it means business.

More simply, it provides China-related business news to the English speaking world. Straight to the point, and deeply intelligent, this is the thinking businessperson’s blog.

The site launched their blog in March 2007 as a repository for extra information and tips.

8) Managing the Dragon
This blog belongs to Wall Street veteran Jack Perkowski, and is basically a publicity vehicle for his book of the same name, sub-headed “How I’m Building a Billion-Dollar Business in China”. If you can bring yourself to look beyond his nauseatingly capitalist bluster, there are some interesting posts. In any case, reading the blog saves buying his book and lining his greasy little pockets.

9) The China Observer
The China Observer categorizes itself as “local observations, global implications” and that just about sums it up. Posts come from writers both inside and outside of China, and offer insights into Chinese business, economics and law from commentators around the world. The blog was set up by economist and Fulbright scholar Joel Backaler, and was voted best business-law blog in the 2008 Best China Blogs awards.
