PBS Frontline Feature — Is Wal-Mart Good for America?
Here’s another PBS Frontline segment that touches on a number of the things we have or will cover regarding China. It’s titled, “Is Wal-Mart Good For America?”.
The first part of the segment addresses Wal-Mart’s business in the US, but then the documentary shifts to China and a more global perspective. The segment also visits Shenzhen and covers the supply-side of the China/Wal-Mart equation. The segment is very helpful in understading one of the faces of the China-US business relationship. Parenthetically, it’s my understanding that Wal-Mart’s largest store in the world (or one of its largest stores) is located in Shenzhen. I tried to develop some of our connections to get us a tour and presentation by management at that particular store, but it fell through due to timing issues. Next year we will try again!
