Day 3 - Reflections from Professor Rarick

After a full day of cultural sightseeing yesterday, we had the opportunity to hear from an interesting entrepreneur in the Chinese film industry. It was interesting to learn that China restricts the import of foreign films to just 20 per year, which helps to develop the domestic industry. It doesn’t do so much good for American film makers and our trade deficit though. We also heard from a very experienced American working in China, and his associate, who discussed issues pertaining to human resource management and talent recruitment. As the Chinese economy continues to develop, the need for world-class managerial talent increases. With a necessary stop at a Carrefour for soda and other supplies, the day is almost complete, except for the much anticipated Peking Opera tonight. Hope everyone brings their ear protection as it is generally very, very loud.
