Newsletter: What Will China Do With Its Ivory Stockpiles?

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 ivory tusks, fake kidnapping, Ma & Trump, and more.

So my son is up in my wife’s hometown for Chinese New Year – getting a couple weeks off of the rug rat – but honestly missing the hyper dude already and it’s just been a couple days.

Hong Kong’s former leader, Donald Tsang, abused his power

And it’s going out in court now.

As internet filtering gets more popular around the world, awareness picks up Event politicians teaching their people:

Amama Mbabazi, a presidential candidate in Uganda’s 2016 elections referred his followers to use a certain VPN

Now that ivory is banned … what to do?

Should China burn their Ivory stockpiles?

This article doesn’t seem to think so

And all the rest of the news is from Andre Martin (twitter.com/andremartin) – normally I just pick a few, but these are all great ones!

Trump says one of China’s most notorious thieves of American IP is a “great, great entrepreneur”

Trump and Jack Ma reactions already coming…

Alibaba’s 1 million American jobs promise isn’t realistic.

Beijing to launch environmental police force

to fight smog! Will it work?

Well, I’m verified,

but I’m used to being tracked…

Have a verified Twitter account? WikiLeaks might track you.

Sorry ladies…

Yes, women can be crazy, (is that PC?) – but mine would never do this…
