Two Great China Blogs. Go There Now.

On a slow Saturday afternoon, I have been catching up on some of my favorite web sites.  Work and business travel have been hectic lately, so I have a back log of stuff to read.  In doing so though,  I was reminded how much I really like a couple of sites on China that I visit regularly.  I don't often write articles that basically say "leave my site and go here".  However, I am doing that today regarding a couple of my very favorite blogs on China. 

China Law Blog. Written by two lawyers with the international law firm of Harris & Moure,  Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson do a really great job writing about what's "really" going on in China from a local level.  China Law Blog recently was recognized as "Best Business-Law Blog" by Chinalyst, a community of English Language blogs on China. 

Particularly interesting are sections on hiring, outsourcing, local customs and the impact of Chinese politics on business and culture.  

Check out this recent article on China Outsourcing and Mattel.  I found it of representative value relative to the hard work Mattel put into setting up their offshore activities even in light of a recent recall of toys that were found to have lead paint in them. Quality control is a big deal at Mattel, but I guess this is proof that sometimes "shit happens".

Another favorite I'll add for good measure... "Bunnies' Blog - The Adventures with the Venture Communist"  This is the blog of Bunnie Huang, a venture capitalist doing business in China.   Great, great reading for anybody considering setting up shop in China or setting up outsourced operations.    The Venture Communist article is almost a "stream of consciousness" in writing style but it contains high value information. 

Both of these sites are worth bookmarking.
