If you're planning to do business in China, be warned: The Chinese have a major home-court advantage.
I know a little about home-court advantages, being from Utah. I'm a Utah Jazz fan since the days when Karl Malone and John Stockton turned the pick-and-roll into a steamroller. There was Thurl Bailey with his operatic voice, and a tectonic land mass known as Mark Eaton at 2.24 meters and 132 kilograms.
The Jazz has long led the sports world with a home-court advantage far above the NBA league average of 3.2 points per game. Between 2005 and 2013, the Jazz had an astonishing 6.2-point advantage when playing at home.
