Many thanks to the Financial Director out of the UK for running my latest Op Ed entitled Time is China’s Economic Best Friend. The full article is here and a few sentences are below. The Financial Director is “a community of finance leaders, providing expert content that connects, engages and informs our audience on the issues that matter.” (web site)
The recent economic statistics from China are not terribly flattering. Prior to writing this piece I read more than 20 articles from multiple sources and industries, and also reflected on my over 25 years of travel, meeting with and consulting for businesses about their strategies.
The gloomy headlines fail to mention that the People’s Republic has intellectual horsepower, history, and immense resources on its side to figure things out. Unlike so many of its western counterparts, China also has a much more patient outlook. Time is its economic best friend.
