Newsletter: Should Google Come Back to China?

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.]

Typing this up, yes, you guessed it, on a cross-border bus from Hong Kong into Shenzhen – start my weeks off in HK and end at home in Shenzhen.

And for those of you who make it to the crossbordersummit.com – tell my wife Wendy I have been promoting it a lot, she just reads my Wechat moments, but I’m working hard getting the word out! 🙂

We have a webinar coming up on April 5th with Monica in SF talking about managing Chinese staff

Is Google another step closer to being unblocked in China?

Some factual news about Hong Kong:

Total exports value up 18.2%

Average wage rate rises 3.6%

And …

Hong Kong elects its first female leader and make her the butt of a rude joke

Shhh……

Be very Careful what you write on wechat

Fake news about fake food. Is this some kinda tongue twister?

In China, consumers have to be on guard not just against fake food, but also fake news about food.

Thought they were just hiring?

HSBC lays off 120 technology staff in Hong Kong in cost-cutting plan

To wrap up the news section with something…more fun…or crazy

This Chinese manager motivates his staff by having them tear up money, wtf??
