You know, the China office sounds like a real 'Shenzhen-anigans' going on. No wonder they're resistant to change!

Succession gap? Nah, with all that nepotism going on, I bet they have that covered. It's probably a family business over there!

A: Maybe they don't have a succession gap because they're just promoting family members.

I'll go with C - the China office doesn't exhibit a knowledge sharing gap. They're hoarding that knowledge like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold.

I believe the China office is also lacking in Skill & competency gap. They need to focus on developing local talent and not just hiring based on nepotism.

Aha, the China office is running pretty independently, so I bet they don't have a knowledge sharing gap. They're keeping all that juicy information to themselves!
