We have to exercise great caution when investing in China. My Shanghai Gf tell me Singapore better, air not as polluted as compare to Shanghai. Singapore have cleaner environment. It’s safer to consume the food here.
IMHO, i find shanghai / china have lots of business opportunities. Growing market with lots of competition but not to forget China is a BIG BIG market.
Service qualities are getting better and better. We can still see lots of ugly side of Chinese but they are improving.
I don get their Custom officer to scream at me for moving too slow anymore.
I don get stares when i do purchase the product after a session of bargaining.
Yes, Singaporean is consider rigid when comes to doing business in China. Our culture here is must check with if the company is establish or not. What are their past profit margins? That why we lost lots of opportunity. Most of the Companies in China are new yet thriving.

At least their marine equipment is cheap and GALS are pretty.
