Western Exes and Politicians Have Let the Dragon in; Must We All Now Play by the “China Rules“?



Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that Pete Read and Nicholas Pechet authors of a profoundly disturbing new book, China Rules, will join Té Revesz, host of Global Reach: Winning in World Markets on the VoiceAmerica Radio Network’s Business Channel (http://www.voiceamerica.com/show/1984/global-reach) on Thursday, May 2 at 11 AM Pacific Time.  In this first interview they will talk about how the new “China Rules” will change not only the ground rules for global business, but the lives of hundreds of millions of citizens of Western countries. And the lives of their children. And their grandchildren.

In 2000 China adopted a deliberate “go global” strategy under which Chinese companies are expected to engage in global investment, production, sales and services. What’s followed has been a “shockingly rapid investment boom in overseas strategic assets, including energy, construction, utilities and finance.”

Western governments and business have done almost nothing to control China’s expansion.  Instead, charge the authors, they have facilitated China’s “economic diaspora” thanks to their “thirst for short-term political power and financial gain.” Moreover, they have “fooled themselves” into “transferring untold potential wealth to China” in the form of technology transfers through the medium of offshoring.”

Joining Global Reach host Té Revesz from their posts in China and Singapore,  Nick Pechet and Pete Read warn that hundreds of millions of citizens in Western nations are oblivious to the looming changes to every aspect of their lives, and particularly to the lives of their children and grandchildren.

Pechet and Read will detail the crucial implications for Western companies and the mega-trends they must embrace to compete in the new game. The China Rules will change perceptions of “Made in China” forever.

Nick Pechet has been living and working in Greater China for 11 years. As Managing Director and Head of China for a global management consulting firm with offices in 10 countries, he has advised over one hundred of the Fortune 500 companies on how to compete and grow more successfully in China. Nick holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, and a bachelor’s in Finance and International Business from McGill University, Canada.

Pete Read is an entrepreneur and business consultant specializing in China and the Asia Pacific region. He has lived and worked in Asia for 18 years, and has led hundreds of research and consulting assignments for some of the most successful multinational and Chinese companies, including American Express, China Mobile, Haier, Intel, Samsung and Walt Disney. Pete studied the history, geography and economics of China at the University of London's School of Oriental & African Studies and the London School of Economics.
