[...] 企业家协会在北京的活动反响热烈，我遇到了多位多年来只闻其名、未见其人的朋友，令我非常高兴。与会者大多都已在北京或中国逗留数年，因此北京分会可以说是一个经验丰富的团队。尤为让我高兴的是，我在会上遇到了保罗•戴林格（Paul Denlinger），他不仅为我的新作写了书评，还在他的博客（The China Vortex）中记录了此次活动。 [...]

[...] The event in Beijing was well-attended, and I was delighted to meet many people whom I have known by name over the years, but whom I had not yet had the opportunity to meet in person. Most in attendance have been in Beijing and China for several years, so it was a very experienced group. I was particularly happy to meet Paul Denlinger, who not only wrote a review of my book, but also wrote about the event on his blog, The China Vortex. [...]

Great post.

I discussed this very same topic today with my hair “stylist.” Not kidding. We were talking about how the market for the $10 million Four Seasons condos in downtown Seattle is doing just fine but the market for the mid-market $600,000 condos is getting soft. There are two markets everywhere and I always find it fascinating to compare them. The questions for China, as I see it, are whether Western companies can make money in the local local market and, if so, which ones. I am also of the view that certain companies would harm themselves by even trying for that market at this point. For instance, it would probably make no sense for Apple Computer to get into that market with its computers, Ipods or Iphones; it should instead remain high end. But GM or Motorola might well be a different story.
