Promising China Blog: ChinaBizGov

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

Of those who comment on our blog, I never remember who agrees or disagrees with me on issues, but I always remember those who make me think. That is why I remember G.E. Anderson and that is why I was so happy to learn (from Professor Donald Clarke, the brains behind the Chinese Law Professor Blog) that G.E. Anderson has just started his own blog. Anderson's blog is ChinaBizGov and its tagline is "Highlighting interesting issues in business-government relations in Greater China." Anderson describes himself as a "China specialist, former CFO, and PhD Candidate in Political Science at UCLA. Research focuses on state-owned enterprises, corporate governance and China's auto industry." It took me only one post to know I was going to like this blog. The post is today's post, entitled, "Privatization of Central SASAC Assets," in which Anderson talks about a conversation he recently had with a journalist out of Beijing on whether China is moving away from privatization, without really making a conclusion one way or another. This is a great issue and one I too have been struggling with. I did a post a few weeks ago, entitled, "China And The US. Which Of Us Is The Most Capitalistic?" postulating that as the US moves away from rampant capitalism, China is moving towards it. Yet, within hours of having done that post, I started having doubts regarding China's moving toward capitalism. Is China getting more or less capitalistic? Help me out here cause I dunno.
