Beijing
I almost went to Beijing this weekend, almost in the sense that Emma said “Let’s go to Beijing” and I said “OK!“, but then my boss said “Let’s work on Saturday” and I said “OK!“. So now I’m not going. Forgive me father, it has been 11 months since I came to Shanghai and I [...]
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 [...]

Beyond that, the post does an excellent job analyzing a Chinese Supreme Court case holding that agents who register the [...]
CultureFish: Your China Adwords (Baidu) Friend
There are certain businesses I always have trouble understanding. I remember many years ago my firm was representing a Korean internet company in its U.S. venture capital deals. Money was flowing in to this company from the Korea, the United States and Japan and everyone was telling me I was crazy to allow them to [...]
China Manufacturing: That’s The Way I Like It
Interesting post up at the brand new Smart Cube blog, entitled, “Survey: Global Manufacturers Staying Put in China,” on how Mattel’s problems have had almost no effect on foreign manufacturing in China. The post is based on a survey finding that the recent recalls of tainted and toxic China-made products has not caused foreign companies [...]
