China HR = Worldwide HR.

Posted on March 28, 2008
Veteran China hand, David Dayton, of Silk Road International, did a post a while back on the effectiveness of international management practices in China. The post is based on an article on Phys.org, entitled, "Multinationals in emerging China should stick to their own ways of managing," and subtitled, "When it comes to breaking into the lucrative Chinese market, foreign multinational retailers should keep largely to their own, time-tested management techniques, according to new research funded...

China Manufacturing Moving To Madagascar

Posted on March 27, 2008
Earlier today, I posted on how China is still the place to manufacture all but the lowest end products. That post is entitled, "Goodbye China. Good Morning Vietnam. I Don't Think So, Part II." As is par for the course on this blog, I received a number of excellent comments...

Goodbye China. Good Morning Vietnam. I Don't Think So, Part II

Returning Substandard Products To Your China Factory: In Another Lifetime, Brother.

Posted on March 25, 2008
David Dayton at Silk Road International Blog did a post on a topic near and dear to my heart, "Returning Products to a Factory in China" (h/t to Source Juice). I deal with this issue quite often when Western companies seek my law firm's assistance in securing a refund for bad product from a Chinese company that is not budging...

China M&A Done Right

Posted on March 25, 2008
Nothing earth shattering or even new in this article, but "Dealmaking in China: Getting In on the Action," by George D. Martin at Faegre & Benson LLP and Dave Sampsell, associate general counsel at ADC Telecommunications, Inc., does an excellent job setting out where mergers and acquisitions (M&A) will be going in China and on the basics of doing one...

Managing The Dragon: More To Know. More to Learn.

Posted on March 24, 2008
Paul Denlinger (of China Vortex) just did a guest review of the book, Managing the Dragon, on Lost Loawai, which book I glowingly reviewed last week, in my post, "Managing The Dragon. The Best, Jerry. The Best." Paul provides some excellent insights on the book that are very much applicable to doing business in China today...

The Dirt Under The Fingernails Of "Modern" China

Posted on March 23, 2008
Brilliant and insightful (two different words that still seem redundant) piece by Robert Kagan on how despite its gloss of modernity, entitled, "Behind the 'Modern' China." (h/t to China Digital) China is still rife with "19th-century" ideas: China can go for great stretches these days looking like the model of a postmodern, 21st-century power...

Beijing Olympics -- You Want Jail Time With That?

Posted on March 23, 2008
The Absurdity Allegory and China (AAC) blog makes an excellent legal point in its recent post, "Breaking Eggs in the Bird's Nest." The post is on a March 21, 2008 State Department fact sheet concerning the 2008 Olympics. This fact sheet has received its fair share of coverage from the blogosphere for warning visitors to beware of crime in China and telling them not to expect privacy from the Chinese government (here, here, here, here,...

World Sneezes: China Avoids A Cold

Posted on March 22, 2008
Interesting article in Business Week (h/t to China Challenges) entitled, "World Sneezes, China's Just Fine: Economists say a global slowdown will largely spare a mainland economy still based on domestic consumption and cushioned by vast cash reserves...

China And US Agree: Let's Kill All The Lawyers.

Posted on March 21, 2008
"Let's kill all the lawyers." William Shakespeare. Okay, so we lawyers are not the most loved people in the world, though US surveys consistently show that though the overwhelming majority of people dislike lawyers, they overwhelmingly like their own lawyers...

Expectations Of And From China

Posted on March 20, 2008
ImageThief seems to have recovered fully from a recent bout of spousal childbirth and has been churning out great post after great post of late, rising today to the level of profundity in analyzing the gulf of expectations surrounding the upcoming Olympics: This extremely gloomy scenario made me think a little about the vast gulf between foreign and Chinese expectations for what the Beijing Olympics would accomplish...

Managing The Dragon. The Best, Jerry. The Best.

Posted on March 20, 2008
I gave a talk last week at the Plastics News Executive Forum in Tampa, Florida as one of three on a China panel. Jim Walter, Senior VP - Worldwide Product Integrity at Mattel, led off with a fascinating and informative talk on how he spent his summer vacation...

China Sex, Prostitutes, Rule of Law, Lines of Power, Unintended Consequences and Bull Connor: A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words. Redux

Posted on March 20, 2008
I made a rule for myself many years ago that whenever I was too in love with something I wrote, I needed to run it by someone else. I made this rule because usually when I fall in love with my own writing, it is because I think it is just SO clever. Yet, one person's clever so easily be another person's smarminess or cruel biting sarcasm...

Crime In China: BS Upon BS

Posted on March 20, 2008
The Modern Lei Fang blog just did a post, entitled, Crime in China (Alternative Title: I call Bullshit!)" excoriating the Associated Press for "piling it on against China." Lei Fang is angry at an AP article, "Foreigners Grapple With Crime in China," which he rightfully considers fear mongering...

Clissold v. McGregor In China Business Smackdown.

Posted on March 19, 2008
Bizcult has a post up, entitled, "Old China Hands Face Off in Knowledge Duel", highlighting the following nuggets from a podcast of James McGregor (One Billion Customers) and Tim Clissold (Mr. China): Read the Five Year Plan. The government gives you ?a diagram every five years on what they care about,? Mr...

Blogging On China Law And Business In Difficult Times

Posted on March 17, 2008
I have been feeling somewhat irrelevant lately. Really big things are happening in China and I clearly see the incongruity (absurdity?) of my continuing to chug away on posts relating to joint ventures, intellectual property, and how the rule of law is rising in China...

Steve Dickinson On China Joint Ventures At JP Morgan's China Conference. Beijing, April 24.

Posted on March 17, 2008
China Law Blog's own Steve Dickinson will be speaking on China Joint Ventures (JVs) at JP Morgan's upcoming China Conference. This yearly conference, which truly is THE China conference, will take place at the Grand Hyatt in Beijing (already sold out) from April 23 to April 25 and it will, as always, include a huge roster of the leading China experts in various fields...

China's Big Current Thing Through Chinese Eyes

Posted on March 15, 2008
When something big happens somewhere in the world, my first instinct is to seek to learn more by looking at what was written before it happened. I have been reading up on two things this weekend, Barack Obama's long standing and close relationship with the pastor he refers to as his "mentor" and recent "incidents" in China's Western region...

Selling China Stocks Short -- Literally

Posted on March 15, 2008
Interesting post on the Seeking Alpha blog, by Steve Christ, entitled, "Why It's Not Too Late to Short China." Grossly simplified, it says inflation is doing in China's economy and it is not too late to profit from this by shorting China stocks. The way to short China stocks is to buy the UltraShort FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Proshare ETF, listed on the AMEX exchange under the symbol FXP, which has done very well indeed over...

China Law Blogs

Posted on March 15, 2008
When we started China Law Blog more than two years ago, there was really only one other China law blog: Chinese Law Prof Blog, written by Professor Donald Clarke. Now, in addition to the two of us, the China Law Blogosphere now also includes the following English language blogs by foreign lawyers and law students, in roughly descending order of seniority: 1...

Rule Of China Law And GDP. Was It The Chicken Or The Egg?

Posted on March 15, 2008
The Economist Magazine has a really cool graph showing a pretty much direct (and not surprising) correlation between GDP and the rule of law (h/t to Experience not Logic). It would be nice to be able to use this correlation to argue for rule of law, but it just is not clear that rule of law leads to wealth, rather than the reverse, which is what I suspect: The rule of law is generally held...

Corruption In Asia: China Is Ten Out Of Thirteen.

Posted on March 13, 2008
The Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) recently asked "over 1,400 expatriates" to rank 13 Asian economies on corruption and the results of that survey, from least corrupt to most corrupt, are as follows: 1. Singapore 2. Hong Kong 3. Japan 4...

Bad China Products. Hey, It's A Criminal Thing, Part II

Posted on March 12, 2008
About a month ago, I did a post, entitled, "Bad China Products, Hey, It's A Criminal Thing." That post was on the recent indictment of ChemNutra' and its owners for having allegedly imported tainted pet food. In the post, I speculated as to how there could be criminal liability in such an instance when it appeared ChemNutra did not know of the product problems: This is big and it will no doubt have us civil...
