This is the third episode of Made in China podcast, where we talk to business personalities to understand the mechanisms of China-Central Asian trade. Our guest for this episode is Umed Shukrikhudo, director of the IBS project that supports banks in purchasing banking equipment from the PRC.

We discussed the difference between education systems in Tajikistan and China, the secret of negotiating with Chinese manufacturers, how spare parts of the same equipment are built in different countries and why they can’t be assembled in one place. Umed also remembered how the market changed in 2012, the promotion and propaganda of Chinese culture, and many memorable stories from China.
