My Recommended China Reading – August 2018

Facebooktwitterlinkedin

Greetings from Peking University.

I am hiding out in Thailand for a week, one of my standard writing spots. Any suggestions for fun places to visit would be appreciated.

It’s been a pretty great summer for digital China. Pinduoduo has launched upwards, catching the world’s attention. Meituan and Xiaomi are going public (so lots of numbers to look at). And Alibaba keeps surprising everyone, such as with their new partnership with Starbucks. It’s all fascinating.

Below are my recommended China articles and books for August 2018. I hope these are helpful and that your summer is going well.Cheers, Jeff
