		<description><![CDATA[What will be the role for international entrepreneurs in China’s emerging 2-track economy?
China’s economic development is being pulled in two diverging directions as Beijing struggles to steer a course through this global recession.  On one hand, collapsing international demand for Chinese exports has led policy-makers to stimulate the domestic economy with a massive state-directed [...]]]></description>

But unless they are properly stirred up then all you’ve got is a layer of bitterness floating over bland &#038; lifeless oil.  If something doesn’t energize the ingredients to keep everything active and moving, then you are left with [...]]]></description>

She exemplifies the new up &#038; coming middle-class Chinese consumer that so many international businesses are pinning their hopes on.   She is a grad student majoring in teaching Chinese – but her goal is to work in a Chinese public [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the prevailing myths about China’s economic development is that China’s middle class would steadily integrate and come to share values with its peers around the world.

		<description><![CDATA[International managers in China have to acknowledge some unpleasant facts.  The global economy has ratcheted down.  We’re not likely to see overseas demand return to 2007 levels for a very long time – if ever.  The hottest markets in China are no longer in the glittering showrooms of super-luxury international brands.  [...]]]></description>

They’ve got nothing against China per se.  They just used to consider [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you haven’t read the McKinsey paper on China&#8217;s Wealthy – take a look. It’s a beautiful publication – and really reinforces the notion of China as the new super-consumer.
