Newsletter: Are White Guys in China All Spies?

Dear Global Business Enthusiast,

Michael Michelini (@michelini) here. You’re getting this email because you requested my periodic thoughts on international business from Hong Kong.

[Edit: Actually, it’s possible that you’ve never gotten an email from me. Somebody might have just given you the link to this page, which is an online archive of an email that I sent to folks who had asked for it. If you’d like to get articles like this in your inbox, totally free, about once a week or two, give me your email address.]

This week: white spies, hk fintech fund, phone scams and more!

Well, the Cross Border Summit is tomorrow! in 12 hours from now, actually. And you can still get in on the action by purchasing our online ticket option here – would be great to have you, virtually!

A fun one to end the shorted than usual news section today with:

Dear China, I am a White Guy and Not a Spy

One paragraph to highlight that is interesting:

Another theory to explain the curious catch-a-white-devil campaign is the authorities’ conscious effort to turn the city into a hub of excellence and innovation, and remove everything – and everyone – not fitting the bill. “I guess it’s a spin-off of the anti-migrant campaign in general,” said another foreigner who has also lived in Beijing for some time and works as a teacher.
