I would like to address the communication problems regarding doing business in China. I am a speech pathologist and director of a speech therapy clinic whose focus is accent modification with non-native speakers of English. I went to China in January to establish a connection with a University to test our ability to provide speech services via the internet. The demand for these services is huge and the technology has now allowed us to offer these services via video/audio conferencing. I have software engineer who has designed a program that allows us to provide recordings & lessons very quickly and with very high quality. Many American companies are willing to provide these services to their foreign employees to increase the ability to communicate effectively. The demand is definitively there from businesses and private individuals to obtain these services.
