In this article directed towards Taiwanese citizens a Chinese lawyer,Chiang Chih-chun, tried to help the public become more knowledgeable. This year a new law has been passed allowing citizens of Taiwan to more easily obtain business licenses in mainland China, but mostly as retail operators and restaurant owners. It isn't just easier to obtain a business license, but Taiwanese owner can now occupy more space, from 300 to 500 square meters; and employ more people, from 8 to 10. The biggest suggestion was just doing simple, thorough market research. Rather than going to the main, bigger markets, he suggests going after smaller markets because other established Taiwanese business people are likely to choke out the competition with pricing wars because they're more established. With many businesses trying to penetrate the Chinese market, I'm sure all the practical knowledge is well received and many Taiwanese people are very excited to start their small businesses.

This is very interesting. I think it's always a good thing when the government allows the market to govern itself. Even if it is just a small amount.
