Does this business need a China operating node?

The question comes before the paperwork

This node will test whether a founder's business gains something concrete from a China presence through market access, clients, supply chain, talent, research, data or physical operations. It is not a generic page about why China is attractive.

The full research pack is not published yet. For now, use this page to keep the question in the correct place: before visa, entity and city-selection work.

Coming next

Future work will define evidence questions and stop conditions for market, customer, supply-chain, talent, research, data and physical-presence dependencies.
