The China Price in AdvertisingAge

Last week, AdvertisingAge, the advertising industry's must-read, ran a piece I wrote offering some advice to executives sourcing from China who would like to know what's really going on in their factories. It generated a spicy little debate on the website, starting off with a comment from a man based in Shanghai accusing me of "cheap self-promotion" and concluding, as we hear increasingly, with someone trying to avoid buying Chinese-made goods entirely. Read the story, and its mouth-watering commentary, 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

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 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 FT runs an ad for its excerpt of The China Price

Check out today's edition of the Financial Times (Friday, April 4, 2008) for a beautiful advertisement for The China Price excerpt. The excerpt will run in the Saturday, April 5 paper in the Life & Arts section internationally and in the FT magazine in the UK.

The China Price on NPR

Yesterday morning, National Public Radio in the US ran a discussion between me and Frank Langfitt, an NPR reporter who used to be based in China and recently went back to visit some factories in the south. Listen to the seven-minute story here.
