Hello,

My company asked me to to move from the US to Zhongshan to open a new production plant.
I am quite interested in duing that, but don't really have to much knowledge about China, therefore I hope that somebody could help me making this decision by answering (some of) my questions:
1.Is Zhongshan concidered a nice and safe city?
2.Is crime a concern at all?
3.What what would be a good area to live in Zhongshan?
4.How much is rent in average in this area?
5.Does anybody know a good website to look for appartments/ real estate in this area?
6.Is it easy to get arround via public transportation?
7.Is a car recommended at all?
8.As a person comming from the US what would I need to watch out for?
9.Generaly speaking are people open to foreigners?
10.What would be an appropriate salary to ask for as a (production) manager?
11.What are nearby cities? Would it be feasable to commute from Hong Kong?

Thank you very much!!!

2) I can't say for Zhongshan, but it's generally not a worry for mainland China. Except petty crime like pickpocketing in crowded areas -- this is NOT unique to China.
11) No. Guangzhou and Zhuhai are the next nearest cities.

Why isn't your COMPANY doing all this research for you.

Why do they want you to open a PLANT in Zhongshan if you/they know nothing about the place.

Your questions relate to living conditions - not much to do with setting up a factory.

Questions relating to this would be more imperative don;t you think.........

What's with the salary question. Is that your Salary?????
