Newsletter: Beijing Couple Overnight in an Ikea, Live Streaming?

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.]
Back to the “normal” weekly format after a couple weeks of surveys and feedback, thanks everyone for that – it will help give me a lot of direction on content for 2017! This is our 100th newsletter now, thanks for those of you who have been with us through them.

I’m without a passport until Dec 15! Renewing my China residence visa, let’s hope I pass the screening, always nerve racking process each year.

That feeling you get when you don’t have a passport and are stuck in Mainland China. Sure I will get it back the end of next week, but it makes you think about freedom.
