To Catch The Cubs You Must Enter The Tiger’s Lair
Kudos for Lonnie Hodge and David DeGeest of The Dreamblogue for bringing these excellent You Tube videos to my attention.
These clips are incredible for how they illustrate the risks, rewards and realities of doing business in China. And remember that its the addiction of the West, i.e., you and me, for goods, that fuels much of what you see in these videos.
And for a book that just came out which relates to this issue that has received some very good reviews, see Sara Bongiorni’s, A Day Without ‘Made in China’: One Family’s True Life Adventure in a Global Economy, where the author decides to test whether she and her family can live for a year without buying anything ‘Made in China’. See also Thomas Friedman’s recent op-ed pieces, Doha and Dalian and Lead, Follow or Move Aside.
Enjoy …. and please come back and tell me what you think of these videos.
