The China Price a must read for consumers

The China Price "should reside on a bookshelf in every household where the words “Made in China” appear." That's from a great review of the book in Cairns Media Magazine. Cairns says the book is the exception to the rule that business books are "as fascinating as dog droppings." High praise indeed. Read the review here.

The China Price on WNYC's Leonard Lopate

I was on WNYC's The Leonard Lopate Show a few days ago and really enjoyed it. Check out the lively debate about China and its manufacturing sector that sprung up on the website afterwards. Listen to the show and read the online debate here.

The China Price on Voice of America

The China Price made it onto the Voice of America, quoting me speaking in Washington about rising prices from China - a theme I've been repeating in my talks here, and one I'm quick to stress is not such bad news, as long as it means that workers in China are getting a better deal. Check out the article here.

The China Price in the Dallas Morning News

Greetings from New York! The China Price made it into two big newspapers today. The Dallas Morning News ran an excerpt from the Slate piece I wrote a few weeks ago about rising Chinese prices - clearly a big issue at a time when everyone in the US is already worried about rising gas prices. Read the excerpt here. Separately, The Washington Post Outlook section ran a charticle I compiled about Chinese and Americans' varying use of language to describe the same concepts. It's not online, as far as I can tell, but if you get a copy of Sunday, April 20th's Washington Post, it's in the Outlook section.

Cairns Media Magazine on The China Price

Cairns Media Magazine, an online magazine founded by Canadian John Cairns, has done a piece on The China Price. Check out the feature here.

Great column by Howard French on China

Howard French, perhaps my favorite columnist, has a great piece on China and the recent international criticism over Tibet today in the International Herald Tribune, and therefore perhaps the New York Times. He talks about how Chinese people are the real victims here - not because they are being criticized, but because such open criticism is not permitted in China. A great piece. Read it here.

The China Price on French radio

The book made its first cameo in France yesterday during an interview I did with Shanghai-based French journalist Carrie Nooten. The piece, which aired on France Inter, is about Chinese migrant workers, the 200 million people who have moved from the countryside to the cities in search of better paying jobs and whose herculean efforts are at the heart of The China Price. The name of the show is "et pourtant elle tourne". Just in case you were thinking of listening to the broadcast but were dreading hearing me speak that beautiful language poorly: I speak English, not French. Listen to the interview here.

Ethical Corporation reviews The China Price

"'The China Price' is a must-read for anyone sourcing or operating in China as well as those engaged in corporate social responsibility initiatives in the country. It’s also a book anyone who considers themselves an ethical or concerned consumer should read." So says Paul French in The Ethical Corporation magazine in a very positive review. Read the review here.

Excellent point from a reader of Slate

Someone wrote in to ask what the renminbi has appreciated 16 percent against this year. Great point! That would be the US dollar.

The China Price Q&A on FT.com

I just did an hour-long live Q&A session on FT.com. FT readers are really smart! They asked great questions. Check out the session and my responses here. Before that, I did a signing at Bookazine here in Hong Kong where we sold out of all of their copies of the book within an hour or so!

The China Price on Slate

Slate has published a piece I wrote about rising Chinese factory prices and what they mean for American consumers (hint: it means we're all going to be paying more for everyday goods for some time to come). Check out the piece here.

The China Price on John Batchelor

I just did a live appearance with John Batchelor, the radio show host, on KFI 640 AM in Los Angeles. John really enjoyed the book, and was a big fan of the You Tube trailer. Check it out in the links section below.

The China Price at Powell's in Oregon

The wonderful Holly McHugh sent in this picture of The China Price on the shelves at Powell's - the favorite bookstore of everybody I know in the Pacific Northwest. It's a little bit Where's Waldo, but if you're reading this blog, you know the cover of my book well. Now, if only we could get them to move the book a little higher on the shelves, closer to eye level ...

The ad from the FT

I had to post it! It was just too cool. This is from Friday's paper, so chronologically, things are a little bit out of order. But you forgive me.

Excerpt of The China Price in the FT

The Financial Times ran an excerpt of the book in today's paper. The selection is about Li Luyuan, a factory worker turned real estate agent. The piece ran on the front page of the Life & Arts section internationally and in the magazine in the UK. You can find the excerpt here.

The FT runs an ad for its excerpt of The China Price

Bookazine event in Hong Kong April 9th

The bookstore Bookazine has put together this flier to promote my signing at their shop in Hong Kong's Prince's Building on April 9th from 6:30pm onwards. I believe there are even free drinks.

Good review in the Financial Times

"Anyone running a company that outsources manufacturing to China, or is thinking of doing so, needs to read this book."

So says Morgen Witzel in this morning's FT of The China Price. Calling the book "well-written", Witzel concludes that "Harney provides a valuable insight into the worst problems of outsourcing and how they occur. Change is needed, and change will come; we must begin to prepare for it."
