It is always nerve wracking when starting to write a book - particularly when the topic is geo-politically sensitive. Even more so when we have seen significant shifts from the old China engagement approach of constructive engagement to the emerging paradigm of managing emerging conflicts as economies see trade and China engagement through the Lense of strategic and sovereign competition. The basic structure of the book has been drafted and attached. Feel free to comment and if you wish to be included in the book by supplying personal insights and / or anecdotes, feel free to message me and what Chapter would be appropriate to include it into. As this is primarily a qualitative look at Logink and China's spreading Digital footprint under the banner of the BRI, it requires a certain level of self reflection and awareness of biases and the impact on policy positions when constructing a trade / economic / political interface and exchange with China.

I love this quote. "Creativity flows when a hundred schools of thought contend." I don't know if it's "true", but the socio-economic systems of free markets have been more innovative and productive than others, and one of the differentiating factors is their enablement of productive innovation through the sharing and competition of ideas for the customer. The same applies in large businesses, all of which have socio-economic structures of their own. Almost all large businesses do not allow ANY schools of thought to contend with their corporate "strategy/narrative/culture/structure" never mind hundreds. Almost all large businesses fail to creatively innovate and kill all the creativity and innovation they spend $Bn's to buy. Funny how the thing stares us in the face but we simply ignore it. #human #innovation #freemarket #contention #creativity #growth #organizationaldevelopment

The difficult situation of the private sector is expected to be one of the topics at the CCP's Third Plenum next week. Chinese economic experts have diverging views on what the best measures for sustained growth are, as the latest China Spektrum analysis shows. MERICS Senior Analyst Christina Sadeler identifies two groups: one that follows the current party line and calls for more state control and cooperation between private and state-owned companies. Another, less prominent group, is in favor of market-oriented reforms, fairer competition and a more predictable political and legal environment to revitalize entrepreneurial spirit in China.
