The return of Mr ChinaPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, August 17, 2007 1:32 PM
 Jack's back The 'Mr China' of the title is a larger than life investment banker who first came here in 1992, was smitten, and then employed Clissold to help him lose a lot of money. Now several years after the publication of the book, Mr China is back, and apparently making boatloads of money. He also has a blog: Managing the Dragon. Written with several other contributors, it's off to a promising start, with formally written articles about a range of themes relating to business in China.

Comments on The return of Mr China
After ten bloody years here, I've finally figured out how to "make it" in China!
Write a book about "making it" in China!! (kicking myself in the head for all those prime years down the tubes)...
Referencing the second post on that weblog, how's the sky in Beijing today? Isn't it the first day of the car-ban? We've been having absolutely gorgeous blue skies with fluffy white clouds in Shanghai for the past few days.
If you look straight up you can see blue sky today. At least it's better than yesterday, which was a return to choking haze. Beijing's meterological magicians are only good for one week of good weather, it appears. Hope they manage to lengthen that by next year.
Look forward to reading it.
"Managing the Dragon" Ha ha ha ha ha!
Really? People enjoyed Mr. China? Gah, I thought it was the worst "I've been to the big dragon and I've survived" books out there.
