Common Talk About an Uncommon Country
Journalist-turned-businessman, James McGregor, views China as being simultaneously the world's largest startup and the world's largest turnaround. And his new book, ONE BILLION CUSTOMERS, combines the saga of China's rise as a business power, with practical lessons on how to do business there. In this speech, McGregor will walk the audience into the middle of the Chinese business world while sharing his insider's perspective on the politics, the people and China's changing place in the world order.
James McGregor has spent nearly two decades working as a journalist and businessman in Greater China. As The Wall Street Journal's China bureau chief, he documented the sweeping changes that have taken China from the edge of economic chaos to the verge of economic predominance. As former chief executive of Dow Jones' China business operations, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China and now a venture capital investor, business advisor and entrepreneur, McGregor has negotiated every aspect of business in China.
