Orville Schell on China Daily, “Challenges investors face in US, EU”

August 31, 2010 by YinYang 3 Comments

I thought this was a very accurate characterization by Orville Schell via an op-ed on China Daily of the "dysfunctional" investment relationship between China and the U.S. at the moment. My interpretation? On one hand, China welcomes investment with open arms; think Intel, GM, Caterpillar, and even Google investing in China. That creates tons of jobs in China.

August 18, 2010 by Mr. Allen 6 Comments
