A North-South Chinese Mix Cline in SE Asia?
2008-07-11 16:24:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here. Updated July 12. I am republishing this post published earlier this month because I added some photos.A question from the comments about the Are SE Asians Australoids? article:Aren't Khmer a little more Australoid than people in Vietnam (at least Northern Vietnamese), most Thai, and Laotians? There seems to be a clear cline in Southeast Asia, the areas bordering China seem to have more NE Mongoloid Admixture than those of the Malay archipelago and the Khmer. I'm basing this on appearance and not genes, which you pointed out, rightly so, as being misleading.This question keeps popping up because so many folks are convinced, based primarily on appearance, that many SE Asians are part-Australoid.First of all, the Vietnamese, Filipinos, Thai and Khmer are all quite close to the Southern Chinese genetically. Of these, believe it or not, the Fili...

How To Get What You Want From The Chinese Government, Part II. Make It Win
2008-07-03 10:23:00 In The Subtle Art of Lobbying the Chinese Government , Alistair Nicholas of Off The Record posted on our post on how to lobby the Chinese government. Nicholas noted something very important I left out in my post. Our post focused on who to lobby and the logistics of lobbying, but it left out what to say to get the government to go along. Off The Record filled in that missing element rather well: My key learning over 20 odd years of lobbying both successfully and, sometimes, unsuccessfully across three countries are that politicians the world over are all the same. If you want them to support your cause you need to figure out what’s in it for them and offer a deal they can’t refuse. I’m not talking about delivering brown paper bags stuffed with cash or other bribes. * * * * Before you approach a politician for help you need to (with apologies to John F. Kennedy) ask not what your government can do for you but rather what you can do for your government. This is the s...

How To Get What You Want From The Chinese Government
2008-07-02 00:19:00 Well, within limits. Bizcult has an interesting post up on the basics of lobbying the Chinese government. The post is entitled, "How to Lobby the Chinese Government," and it is based on Scott Kennedy's book The Business of Lobbying in China. According to Kennedy, Chinese policy arises from three things: 1) bargaining between elite politicians and various bureaucracies, 2) expertise provided by intellectuals that include economists, lawyers and researchers in government-sponsored research institutes, 3) National People’s Congress legislation. To lobby effectively, you need to concentrate on these three processes and the policies they create. Lobbying by foreigners is commonly done in China and the most successful lobbyists are those who communicate and make personal visits regularly. Kennedy has the following to say about where and how to lobby: "Lobbying via Chinese trade associations can have mixed results." There are many such associations, but only some of the...

Skateboarding With Chinese Characteristics
2008-06-23 03:59:00 Very interesting and insightful article on skateboarding in China, dude. The article is written by college junior, Jonathan Chow, and is entitled, "Skateboarding With Chinese Characteristics." Its money quote and why the article itself is important is as follows: "Forget soybeans, aircrafts, and pharmaceuticals. Popular culture is America's most influential export." It's tagline is that "As extreme sports emerge in China, skateboarding leads the way." BTW, am I the only person over 25 who both watches and loves Rob & Big? More than once, someone from Russia has told me that despite all the anti-American propaganda to which they were constantly subjected, they never hated the United States because they liked our music so much. I have a very close friend (the guy who sent me to Papua New Guinea, actually) from Sakhalin Island, Russia, who taught himself English by listening to US and British Rock & Roll on Japanese radio stations.

Marketing And Selling To Chinese Businesses
2008-06-14 16:36:00 Matthew Harrison of B2B International China has a nice post up on China Success Stories, entitled, "Marketing and Selling to Chinese Businesses." For me, the big takeaway (and surprise) was the importance of conferences and exhibitions. Now of course I knew that China puts a big one of these on just about every week, but I did not realize how truly important they are for securing business. I do not purport to be an expert in marketing to Western companies, but I have to believe such events are of far less importance than in China. Anyway, it makes for a very informative read.

On Immigration
2008-06-14 05:19:00 Updated June 18:We have quite a few folks coming to this blog who are opposed to immigration. To be honest, almost everyone in the US who is opposed to immigration is White, and to some extent, it's associated with White nationalism.There are also anti-immigrant sites out there like Vdare, but they are almost always on the crazy end of the spectrum. Vdare is not White nationalist, but they do want to end all immigration altogether. On the far moderate end of White nationalism, we have American Renaissance. I do like to hang out there because it's nice to hear real, honest talk on race for once.In general, the White nationalists on Amren want to end non-White immigration altogether.I'd like to point out that this is a crazy and extremist point of view. Furthermore, Whites are only 65% of the US in 2006 according to this chart, and possibly less. 2% of the US is Muslim, and the overwhelming majority are not Europeans. Another .5% of the population are Indian-Americans. 1% of the po...

What are the Differences between Chinese and Western Form-giving?
2008-06-11 05:32:00 "An introduction to formgiving in Chinese product design" is a research article, written by Vigleik Norheim from the Department of Product Design from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It gives some interesting insights on the cultural influences that impact the form-giving methodology in Chinese Industrial Design. ABSTRACT The article is a holistic and cultural introduction to formgiving in Chinese product design, both theoretical and practical. Observations were made during a 4-week stay in China in a university and two design offices. Introducing and comparing various Western approaches to form in product design with the Chinese approach proved to a certain degree unfair, as their tradition in the field is yet very young. The aim of this text is thus to explain why form in Chinese product design is where it is today in a cultural and social context. The article concludes that Chinese designers need more freedom and authority, much like the early Western desi...

Investing in China: Wrestling this Growing Behemoth
2008-06-09 15:54:00 Unless you?ve been asleep for the past 10 years, you know that the hot investment ideas all come from China these days. It makes sense. With 1/5th of the world?s population, and a stronger desire to gain ?developed country? status than any other country in the world, China has presented everyone with strong growth opportunities. Unfortunately, most investors just don’t get it. They?ve been buying up stocks just because they say “China” in their names. It’s just like 1999, when people bought stocks just because they ended with “dot-com.” And we all know how that turned out. I?ve been laying it all…

Zhongpin (HOGS): Chinese consumers pick pork
2008-06-04 07:00:00 "In the US, beef may be the choice for dinner,' but in China, that’s likely to be pork," says Ian Wyatt (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2074), adding, "As living standards rise, so does China’s hunger for pork."The editor of The Growth Investor (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2074) suggests that one firm poised to benefit is pork processor Zhongpin (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=hogs) (NASDAQ: HOGS (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=hogs)), which he calls "one of the premier processors and purveyors of pork in China.""Prior to the economic reforms that began in 1978, only the wealthy could eat meat at their whim.
