Danone Throws in The Towel… I mean, Gives Wahaha One Last Chance
When zong first threw the Trademark Arbitration in Hangzhou curveball I realized that we were in for an intereting process…. and then when Zong won in Hangzhou last week, I asked the question what the impact of the Hangzhou ruling would be on the rest of the lawsuits on my previous post OMG. Wahaha [...]
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.

On China’s Imminent Stock Crash
I take no position one way or the other on any Chinese stock market crash, but I am certainly impressed by the analysis in this Asia Times article written by Martin Hutchinson of the Prudent Bear (h/t to the China Economics Blog). The article is entitled, “The Coming China Crash” and it claims a [...]
