| Barack Obama in a hangout |
A set of holidays in Asia and Europe have disrupted our regular
+China Weekly Hangout this week and next week.
As an alternative we will host next week, Thursday May 9, an open office session of our hangout, where you are welcome to discuss current affairs in China and offer suggestions for upcoming hangouts.
The event will be held at Thursday May 9, 10pm Beijing Time, 4pm
CEST (Europe) and 10pm EST.
You can already register at our event page here. Moderation by
+Fons Tuinstra, president of the
+China Speakers Bureau.
Until the start of the event you can also leave here or at the event page questions, remarks or additions.
During the event, we will monitor
Google+ and
Twitter (add hash tag #CWHCWH) for your contributions. You will be able to watch the meeting at YouTube, this page and our event page, also the recordings will be available after the event.
We also encourage you to sign up for our
+China Weekly Hangout page if you have not yet done so, so you will get regular updates on our events.
You can have a full overview of our previous hangouts here.
One suggestion for a future event came already from
+Simon Young, residing in New Zealand, who pleaded for a change of the timing of our hangout, so participants from New Zealand and Australia, could join. We have initially planned an Aussie/New Zealand session on May 16 or 23, which will be held six hours earlier from our normal broadcasting times.
So, at 4pm Beijing Time, 10am CEST (Europe) and 8pm Wellington time. (Otherwise we intend to stick mostly to our regular hours, unless Japan California report for business).
wo subjects for this Australia/New Zealand session have been suggested by Simon: 1. the Chinese influence on the dairy industry, and 2. the development of Chinese tourism in New Zealand and Australia. Depending on the participants, we will discuss both subjects, or limit ourselves to one.
Do you have hands-on experience in one of those industries and do you want to join our discussion? D
o drop me a note for a possible dry test of a hangout and fine-tuning of the event.
Update: Yet another subject reached our digital radar screen. How much can you earn on a management function in China?
+Richard Brubaker suggests here that at CEIBS foreign graduates still earn 30/40% than their Chinese counter parts. On Thursday, I will put the subject on the agenda, but only to narrow the subject down a bit, discuss possible experts to join and set a date.
Which reminds me, we should also plan another China Weekly Hangout on Africa, after our first well-visited session on about the advances different Chinese media groups make in Africa with veteran journalists
+Eric Olander of the China Africa Project, and
+Lara Farrar, previously working for both the China Daily and CNN in March.
Do join us next Thursday for our open office session.
