you must've met some good chinese businessmen, from my (and others experience) face doesnt matter as much in business. They will shamelessly try to screw you every way you turn. I have a friend who exports lenses and another locks (random I know) but they have stopped even telling me about the people trying to screw them it happens so often.

I think the word is out now anyway about mr. beijing sidecar. People will hear about it if they ask anyone
