I was fortunate to have attended the ChinaSense program while studying for my Global Executive MBA in 2007. It has made all of the difference to me. Jennifer Pan's company brilliantly tied together the complex mosaic of China's rich long history & culture with contemporary times to create a proper framework for business in China. Through these experiences, Chinasense unlocked a fascinating new realm, and since 2007 my career objective has been to expatriate to China. Today I live in Shanghai and work across mainland China as an International Corporate Banker.

The study tour was a remarkable introduction not only to the dynamics of international business, foreign trade, and the Chinese market but to the complex web of all that is China and the Chinese way of life. I have found it difficult to fathom the sheer amount that I have learned in just a few weeks, both about China and about doing business there. The company visits were extremely informative and valuable, and I especially enjoyed the opportunity to interact with business leaders in such a candid setting. I also had a lot of fun throughout. Put simply, the China Study Tour is one of the coolest, most intriguing experiences I have had to date.

In our recent visits to China, we were delighted to find that ChinaSense is truly a sharply focused service provider for MBA programs. The company had a clear understanding of the needs of MBA programs in both business and culture and catered its quality service with a good balance between the two based on their in-depth knowledge. We felt lucky to have ChinaSense as our partner in our China excursion.

Working with ChinaSense was an absolute pleasure! ChinaSense helped us plan a study abroad trip to Beijing and Shanghai with just the right balance of informative business visits and opportunities for cultural exploration. The quality of the companies we visited and the executives who spoke with us were particularly impressive. The level of attention to detail by ChinaSense was exceptional in every aspect of our trip. We look forward to working with ChinaSense again.

In developing our first faculty led program to China, I needed to find a company that would manage the travel, lodging, tours, and logistics of our trip while enhancing the business backbone of our program. ChinaSense was the perfect solution. Their expertise provided me with comfort in planning our time in Beijing and ensured that our students had rich experiences visiting sites of cultural and business importance. I highly recommend ChinaSense and will use their services in the future.

I had the best experience in China learning about its business world and culture thanks to ChinaSense. We visited very successful and impressive companies and the presentations were precise and current. The sightseeing alone was phenomenal. My favorite thing was bike riding on the Great Wall for 18 Kilometers in Xi'an. ChinaSense's staff was terrific. Jin started us off with a great summary on China's history and current context that made all the presentations make more sense.

In December 2010, we returned to China for the third time in the past 5 years and we were extremely fortunate to have engaged ChinaSense as our trip arranger. The staff of ChinaSense was tremendously helpful, and it is an understatement to say that the professionalism and courtesy of the firm's on the ground staff was head and shoulder above many others I have personally encountered. When a couple of our students were delayed from returning to the States due to visa issues, Jenny and her staff went out of their way to ensure the students were well taken care of and finally returned home safely. I feel personally indebted to ChinaSense and Jenny, in particular, for a job very well done indeed.

We have been working with ChinaSense for several years to organize a study abroad experience for our Executive MBA students. We always come back to ChinaSense because of the excellent service they provide. Our goal is to not only experience Chinese culture, but to provide our students with a learning experience in a foreign business environment. Our students have returned with a new appreciation of Chinese culture and a greater understanding of international business practices. I would encourage anyone who is seeking the ultimate student learning experience in China to contact ChinaSense and Jenny Pan. They have my highest recommendation.

We have engaged ChinaSense to organize our last two EMBA trips to China. While there are many agencies that can organize trips to China few can provide the combination of business and cultural learning experience we were looking for. ChinaSense did that and more. They managed the whole trip including flight and hotel reservations, visa processing, transportation, business visits, and, sight seeing. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made the trips smooth and memorable. I commend ChinaSense on their dedication to excellent and friendly service.

With my eMBA cohort, I had the chance to travel to Beijing and Shanghai as part of our study trip to China. The great experience we had during these days is mostly the result of the hard work of ChinaSense. Our trip was a great success thanks to their professionalism, flexibility, knowledge of the Chinese culture and economy, and their place in the world. Their contacts with local businesses and their understanding of the needs of occidental eMBA students were crucial for our learning.

Global business is an area of focus in George Fox University's School of Business (especially our MBA programs). An emersion weeklong residency in China has become a hallmark of our program. Our first ChinaSense-led residency was in May 2010 after several years with a different vendor. The decision to change vendors was a relatively easy one. ChinaSense proved competent, capable, and caring from the start of our proposal process. The itinerary design was well-balanced between cultural events, corporate tours, expert panels, and free time all of which informed learning. Our school has signed another contract and looking forward to our next experience.

From the moment we arrived to our departure Jennifer Pan and her staff has been wonderful to our group. The company visits they arranged for our MBA class were very informative and valuable to our understanding of how to do business in China (and globally for that matter). Jennifer has an excellent grasp of both the American and Chinese cultures, making her uniquely qualified.

ChinaSense went above and beyond our expectations for our MBA class visit. The trip was very smooth and every detail was worked out before we ever landed in China. Our visits with top executives at firms in Beijing and Shanghai were very insightful and relevant. The hotels, transportation and cultural visits were exceptional. Jenny and her staff made sure all we had to do was teach the course, which makes it very nice. We?ve dealt with other firms in the past where that was not the case. So, we highly recommend ChinaSense.

TCU had previous experience designing a program ourselves, we were interested in diversifying our company visits and including other industries. ChinaSense helped us do this, and they exceeded our expectations. ChinaSense also managed our logistics, and pulled it off without a hitch.
From a more personal aspect, working with Jenny Pan and ChinaSense was fantastic. Jenny understands the EMBA world as she's a graduate of one of the U.S. Programs and is a Chinese native. That perspective and understanding makes a world of difference with our experience.

ChinaSense has many useful contacts for facilitating business visits and an excellent appreciation for the content desired by our students. ChinaSense also worked with us in arranging visits to companies with direct Wichita ties, such as Boeing, Cargill and Cessna, as well as with the representative of the Kansas Department of Commerce in Beijing. In addition to the company-related activities, ChinaSense organized some excellent touring and social activities that were very much appreciated by our students.

I want to thank ChinaSense for the incredible time you coordinated on our trip to China for our EMBA University of Houston class this past May 2009. It was one of the unique and memorable trips of my life. The logistical planning, attention to detail, education content, and just overall friendliness of your staff were 1st class all the way!

On our recent study trip through China, ChinaSense provided an exceptional level of service. We got excellent planning,organization, and logistical support for the entire trip all the way down to the smallest details. In short, there was not a moment of doubt that we were in caring, experienced, qualified, and professional hands. ChinaSense were our trusted partners, delivering the highest quality service, great academic and cultural opportunities, and an unforgettable study trip.

Our recent international business residency in China proved to be an invaluable learning tool for me, both personally and professionally. ChinaSense attended to each and every detail of the trip with perfection. They were able to assist our group in learning about the magnificent culture of the Chinese people. That information, while interesting in and of itself, is actually imperative for anyone planning on doing business in this emerging marketplace. Personally, this trip was a life changing experience, as I have already begun to look for international opportunities within China at my present employer.

I have been beyond impressed by the level of support and responsiveness that ChinaSense provided during my entire business trip in China. From a student's standpoint, ChinaSense was more than able to offer a comprehensible image of China's business perspective through organizing business visits and school lectures incorporated with meaningful cultural aspects. Not only did I gain a broader understanding of how China is coping with its growth, but also an unforgettable personal life experience.

We have used ChinaSense to help with our China trips for the IMBA students for the last two years and its service has been superb. They are very knowledgeable of Chinese culture and business practices and willing to go the extra mile to meet our needs in order to make sure that our students have a memorable experience in China. Our students are very appreciative of their services. ChinaSense is your diligent partner in planning your emersion program in Chinese culture and business practices.

I was incredibly impressed with the way ChinaSense handled our entire China residence. Their knowledge of Chinese culture, the dos and don‘ts, the education on how to do business in China, their selection of business visits, the speakers and the cultural venues all added value to our overall China experience. From a student perspective, especially being in a diverse class with students from different culture and backgrounds; ChinaSense went to great lengths to make sure that we all had an impeccable and memorable experience both academically and culturally.

Every year, when we starting the process of organizing our Travel learn trip for our Global MBA students, we face the same problems. There are many travel agencies that can take care of the logistic of the trip, but they don?t understand our need for the academic portion of the trip (e.g. lectures, business visits, partner universities visits， etc.). ChinaSense was our dreams come true. They understood our needs including the academic component, and worked with us to tailor the trip to our exact needs. No detail was too small, and no request from us was impossible. The end result was a wonderful trip culturally and academically. I know that for future trips to China, we found in ChinaSense a true partner.

ChinaSense did an incredible job of making our trip one of the most worth while experiences in my life. From a students perspective, I could not imagine a trip having gone more smoothly then ours. We had a perfect balance between business visits and sightseeing, and I came away with a much better view of Chinese culture. They handled every aspect of the trip with care, even facilitating a hospital visit for a sick student on the trip. I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of ChinaSense's operations, so much so that I have asked them to help plan my family trip in China during June.

ChinaSense organized our MBA students' travel learn in Beijing, Shanghai and Suzhou. Their preparation was very detailed and thoughtful. Also their guide was very helpful and was willing to go out of way to assist the students. The visits to the businesses and the cultural venues gave our students intimate knowledge of China's business and cultural environment. I would highly recommend ChinaSense to other schools for organizing travelearn to China.

The level of personalized service and responsiveness to our requests has ensured a high quality experience for our students. We look forward to more trips with ChinaSense.

We look forward to the opportunity of working with ChinaSense again in the future.

Educational trips to China are all the rage these days. However, far too many foreign business schools have no idea what to see and often miss what could be a seminal experience for their students. I have had the privilege to work with ChinaSense on several occasions as a speaker their client universities. Jennifer and her team are a joy to work with they know what their clients want and will go to all lengths to deliver. They listen to the unique needs and requirements of each client and craft custom China experiences for each of them. I have found the course participants very well prepared by ChinaSense and ready to ask intelligent and thought-provoking questions. ChinaSense has both the local connections and the knowledge of foreign education to make each educational experience very unique and memorable.
