**Happy Chinese New Year!**Yup, Chinese New Year is now officially over, but no not everyone is back to work yet. We still have multiple suppliers that have seen less than 1/2 their previous staff return to their jobs (in Guangdong Province, mostly). So while you're waiting for everything to get back to normal, here's a little reading material that will not just help you pass the time, but hopefully be of value to your efforts in China as well.
