Bringing a dog into China

How do I bring my beloved pet or dog into China?

Actually for me it was very easy. I recently brought my lil' dog Peanut back from the States into Qingdao. She and her travel container are under 10 lbs, so Asiana let her ride under my seat in the cabin. Korean Airlines has a similiar policy. Both airlines charge about $220 to do this.

Watch out for the OEM factory you choose

Just got back from an International trade fair in Guangzhou China, where we found a whole booth (not even a small booth in the South 40) right smack in the middle of the exhibition floor filled with products with our partner’s trademarks all over them. In addition there was another booth with another type of product, with our partners design AND name on it. Come to find out both of these companies were contracted to manufacture proprietary items for our partners, then turned around and sold them as well.

Export to China

China is a impressive market with over a growing number of middle class to wealthy individuals that are looking for unique imported "made in USA" or USA branded/designed products.

Chinese branded products of good quality available in China are rare and expensive. "What?" you question, "Everything is made in China, how can products be expensive in China?"

Hi, I am happy to post some of my personal and professional musings via this blog.

As an example I want to share with you some of the weird things I've eaten in China, usually as part of a Vendor's banquet:
Sea Slug
Jelly Fish
Fried whole sparrow
Cicadas (flying bug)
pig tails
chicken feet
Abalone
Bull-Frog
Other creatures that I've never seen before (like maybe they live on the bottom of the ocean or something)
