Frequently Asked Questions
This business delegation is designed for professionals and organizations looking to gain direct, on-the-ground exposure to China’s business ecosystem, without committing to long-term market entry.
This expedition is designed for entrepreneurs, executives, investors, consultants, and trade professionals who want to understand China’s digital economy from the inside.
Typical participants include representatives of foreign SMEs expanding into China, brand founders exploring sourcing and market entry, and public-sector professionals studying economic models.
Unlike a self-arranged trip, this program is curated and pre-negotiated:
- Guaranteed corporate access to leading HQs (JD.com, ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent).
- Official briefings from municipal government offices.
- Professional interpreters and guided translation during all meetings.
- Structured pre- and post-trip preparation to ensure measurable outcomes (contacts, action steps, strategy).
It’s a turnkey market immersion with logistics, introductions, and compliance already solved for you.
No.
All briefings, visits, and sessions include English↔Chinese simultaneous interpretation, and all written materials are bilingual.
You’ll also have local staff support during travel, hotel check-ins, and business meetings.
This is a professional business mission, with cultural and lifestyle experiences integrated.
Evenings may include curated local dinners, short cultural walks, and networking with Chinese entrepreneurs, but the core agenda focuses on business learning and corporate access.
Yes.
Premium and Enterprise tiers include personalized meeting slots. Participants may request up to two individual meetings (for example a supplier visit, consulting session, or potential partner intro) which our team coordinates in advance.
We guarantee access to senior management teams and official representatives at each organization.
C-level access (VP, CEO, or founder-level) depends on company availability, timing, and internal approval. Premium and Enterprise participants receive priority scheduling.
Many nationalities can now enter mainland China visa-free for up to 30 days under new bilateral visa exemption agreements.
For those who are not eligible for visa-free entry, we provide convenient on-arrival visa options (口岸签证) or a digital QR business visa.
This streamlined access is available because our program is officially organized in partnership with the Shanghai Municipal Government, which exempts participants from the standard embassy visa process.
For the Hong Kong extension, most Western passports enjoy visa-free entry for short stays. For participants who do need a visa, we also assist with the Hong Kong visa application and entry arrangements.
China is a safe and orderly country for business travel.
All transportation and hotels are vetted, and our team includes bilingual fixers on-site in each city. We continuously monitor local health and political conditions and adjust routes if needed.
We keep groups intentionally small — 8 to 12 participants to maximize access, agility, and discussion quality.
Smaller groups mean faster logistics and deeper interaction with Chinese professionals.
Both are welcome.
Independent consultants, investors, and entrepreneurs can join individually. Corporate teams may register multiple participants to tailor visits to their sectors.
Yes. All participants receive a post-trip contact pack including confirmed company profiles, follow-up contacts, and a digital resource kit (slides, documents, and visit notes).
Premium participants also receive a private debrief call with our experts.
- A 30% deposit confirms participation.
- Balance due 45 days before departure.
- Payments accepted via international bank transfer or secure online invoice (USD or EUR).
Group or institutional invoicing is available on request.
Yes. Our China-based organizing partner can issue official Chinese VAT invoices (fapiao) for program fees and arrangements.
Yes:
- Cancellation 60+ days before departure: full refund minus a $200 admin fee.
- 30–59 days: 50% refund.
- Less than 30 days: non-refundable (credit transferable to a future cohort).
We strongly recommend travel insurance covering cancellation.
- Physical demand: light — mostly urban transfers and walking between office campuses or factory floors.
- Dress code: business casual for meetings; smart casual for dinners.
- Climate: variable depending on season (Beijing cooler, Shenzhen subtropical).
Yes.
Our travel desk can assist with early-arrival hotel nights, weekend tourism, or onward travel in China. Popular add-ons include Suzhou, Guilin, or Xi’an.
The program is organized by GateKaizen, a China-focused advisory platform with 6+ years of field experience, together with local government and industry partners in each city.
Our team combines commercial insight, cultural fluency, and on-the-ground execution.
