NPR Marketplace Commentary
March 23rd, 2010 by Kent KedlI tell you … things are pretty touchy around China these days with respect to U.S. and China business relations. I don’t think I have seen such a sensitive environment since my boy scout troupe accidentally marched through a huge patch of poison ivy (thereby simultaneously losing our merit badges AND giving ourselves a week of pain!). What with Google, Rio Tinto and the threat of the “indigenous innovation policy” on the horizon, it seems that western companies here are getting up in arms about “fair treatment” from China.
So I thought I’d add my two cents … and where else to put in such a paltry amount than on National Public Radio?? Here is a link to a commentary I did that aired on Monday in the U.S.
This ain’t over … there is LOTS more to come. Stand by for further updates from the front.

Good thoughts, Kent. I’ve often also seen China as an adolescent – we wait to see what it matures into.
Of course, we can’t just look at China’s actions – investors needs to evaluate their position also. Foreign companies can’t just expect to come to China, make a fortune, and walk away. Unless the Chinese see definite value in your presence, you won’t be welcome.
After all, whether East or West, we all live by the same rule – there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
