| Bill Dodson, signing his book |
While already going strong, the global launch of Bill Dodson's new book
China Inside Out: 10 Irreversible Trends Reshaping China and its Relationship with the World
will take place this Saturday in Suzhou,
he announces at his weblog:
The Suzhou Launch will be this coming Saturday, March 12, 2011, at the Bookworm in Suzhou, just off Shiquan Jie. The book talk will last about an hour, starting at 4pm; after which will be a launch party with free flow wine and beer (but just for another hour or so).
I’ll be discussing the ramifications for China of the first couple pages of chapter 2 of the book, in which I describe how I unwittingly become caught up in a revolt of middle class protesters angry about the invasion of a property developer onto land to which they hold the deeds. Now, we’re not talking peasants, here; but bonafide, certified, Chinese professionals who find themselves pitted against the local government, unscrupulous property developers, construction managers with bad comb-overs and white-helmeted police in a local, Suzhou dispute that turns very ugly.
Bill Dodson is a speaker at the China Speakers Bureau. When you need him at your meeting or conference, do get in touch.
