Our company's president and I went to China/Beijing last summer trying to sell our applications to one GIS software company who's doing a big pilot project for PetroChina...Unfortunately, we didn't get to bite even a tinest piece of the meat due to our price and some communication issues.
Well, my job is not commission oriented, actually I was glad that company chose to do it themselves. They did partner with ESRI-USA though, so it's not only Chinese party involved in this deal...
The pilot project ends in March, hope they've really pulled it off...
