Taikang Lu
Well this is both frustrating and fantastic. There’s a street called Taikang Lu which I’d heard mentioned a few times in passing and thought I’d actually been to once or twice. In fact I hadn’t, and I would remember, because it’s the nicest area I’ve seen in Shanghai. The reason I went in the first [...]
China Products Liability Conference: Washington DC, December 10 and 11
I am scheduled to speak on Monday in Washington DC regarding what companies outsourcing their product manufacturing must do to protect themselves from bad/dangerous China product. The conference is being put on by Lexis/Nexis and based on the people speaking (present company excluded, of course), I am confident it will be a great conference. The [...]

Looking Out Airplane Windows In China Is For Grizzled Old China Hands ONLY
I did a post the other day, entitled, “Planes, Trains And Automobiles: The China Way,” extolling a James Fallows piece comparing “the Chinese way” with “the Japanese way.” Yesterday, I got a call from my friend and fellow Grinnell College alum, Paul Midler, who wanted to let me know he would be doing a post [...]
China’s Changing Economy Is Changing Everything
Despite my inability to find anything on it through Google, I am convinced there was a TV show (or maybe a movie) with a character who, I believe, after getting completely dumped on would rise up and fight back, but not before first saying “Now that changes everything.” What show, what movie, what character? I [...]
Dell to reduce emissions on supplier side
I wrote a post couple of months ago on the plans of Dell Computer to become “The greenest technology company on earth” (See Sustainability in the supply chain: Dell needs to move quickly) Over there I wrote that Dell has lots of challenges to achieve this goal given the amount of investments which other companies [...]
