David Wolf, China hand who lives in Beijing, and who is also UC Davis grad and author of the always thoughtful Silicon Hutong blog, made a nice post on what President elect Obama means for the US-China relationship and most importantly, he provides some suggestions for how the Obama administration might effectively engage China.

Click HERE to check it out. Your thoughts? Do said suggestions fall in line with, or against, Zakaria’s Post American World book? I invite you to click on his blog and make a comment, ask a question, as David is a first class guy and I am sure he would welcome your comments and/or questions on his blog.

And what are your thoughts for how the business community (i.e., YOU) should engage China, given our new president? See, e.g., the US-China Business Council web site (click HERE). And what about India, in light of the Mumbai attacks? And are the needs, goals and desires of the US business community in line with the geopolitical needs of the broader USA stakeholder community and audience? How yes and how no? And if no/not, then what is your firm and/or industry strategy to get those others to come around to your view of where we should go?

Professor Carr addendum: Here is a nice relevent post by MBA student David McKinnon on the fellow that President Obama just appointed to serve as the new US Ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman.  David’s post is titled, You Are Expected to Address Them as ‘Your Excellency’.
