I worked in China for an American company and know others who have done it. I was based in Shanghai. In that case it was pretty cool. Generally people from US people are very curious about. I have seen a bit of racism toward people from India, Malaysia, Japanese and Koreans. So if you are of that descent and look like you are from one of those countries then people may treat you a little differently.. Also if you don't know any Mandarin it may be pretty difficult to get a job there unless it's for a foreign company. The visa your best bet is to have a company support you to get it.. Basically you end up needing some kind of support letters to do it. You also have to pass a physical that you do in China if I remember correctly. Culturally in China varies a ton across the country. Beijing Shanghai Shenzhen are all different. I would say the simplest method to avoid issues is to just copy what you see the locals do. Business meeting etiquette you can look up online but generally it's not nearly as serious or formal in China compared to Japan. Probably one thing would be not to joke to people about their title.. Like "oh you are CEO? Ha!" That would probably be the most offensive thing..
