For someone living in China for 4 years should know how to do business with Chinese. If you come to China with a western mindset and expectations on how thing are done, you will probably fail here! China can be the land of golden opportunities, you need to be patient and have the right "guanxi" (personal connections).To me it seems like he doesn't really understand the mindset of Chinese people...
