    Very good and well-framed presentation that provided insights into the "clinching" factors for Chinese companies vis-a-vis foreign ones. Well structured brief that highlighted the importance of feasibility and speed ("Quick and Dirty") vs the "complete" product which may fall behind the first mover.
