In this expanded and revised edition of American Businesses in China, the authors provide readers with a close understanding of the breathtaking technological and cultural evolution of 21st century China. After several decades of economic globalization, the Chinese have emerged as quite successful in their economic relationships with the West despite several ideological differences. Case studies of American businesses that have been successful in China also include a new chapter detailing American corporate participation in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Reflecting upon the changing nature of Chinese consumerism and international corporate behavior, the authors close with specific suggestions for those interested in doing business in China.

In Search of Red Buddha

Red Buddha describes the learning path of one sojourner in a closed city (labeled as a «natural prison») in the interior of the People's Republic of China in the period from 1985 to 1988. As an exchange professor and «foreign expert,» Dr. Street was posted to live and work in an educational work unit in Shanxi Province. This study details the lives of Chinese university students, of Cultural Revolution «intellectuals in exile,» and the culture shock and adaptation process of western foreigners (weiguoren). The author also provides historical context to ground the reader. Analysis of the components described above, i.e., the disenchantment of the Chinese students and «intellectuals,» the perceived need for «westernization» of the culture, and the ongoing political and economic chaos signals an uneasy decade. What are the options for post-Maoist China? Where are the leaders?

Asia

Since the publication of earlier editions of this book, China's political and economic landscapes have changed dramatically, with the rise of new leadership, evolving alliances, tariff wars, educational policies and technological advancements. Focusing on Chinese-American ventures, this expanded and revised edition chronicles the investments that have marked China's astonishing growth in the 21st century. Adding another dimension to the exploration of Chinese-American commerce, this edition discusses China's roots in Confucian identity and its effect on modern business culture. Case studies of American businesses that have been successful in China are included.  Reflecting upon the changing nature of Chinese consumerism and international corporate behavior, the authors close with specific suggestions for those interested in doing business in China.

In Search of Red Buddha, first published in 1992, encompasses the experiences of two student/faculty exchanges sponsored by Bridgewater State College and Shanxi Teachers's University (Linfen, PRC) in the mid- to late-1980s. Much to her surprise, Professor Street discovered (shortly after her arrival) that Linfen had previously been used as a "natural" prison for perceived dissidents during the Cultural Revolution. For many, Street was the first Westerner they'd ever seen. The book includes dozens of interviews with Communist Party members as well as Street's day-to-day experiences as an American faculty member living in rural China - her daily adventures buying and cooking food as well as her comical forays at the local post office and train station.
