In this episode of The Negotiation, we have the distinct honor of speaking with Mr. James McGregor. James is an American author, journalist, and businessman who has lived in China for more than 25 years. He currently sits as chairman of APCO Worldwide, Greater China. A professional speaker and commentator who specializes in China’s business, politics, and society, he regularly appears in the media to discuss China-related topics. Mr. McGregor’s books include “No Ancient Wisdom, No Followers: The Challenges of Chinese Authoritarian Capitalism” (2012) and “One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Doing Business in China” (2005). He also wrote the 2010 report “China’s Drive for ‘Indigenous Innovation’ – A Web of Industrial Policies.” We covered a lot of ground during our chat, touching on topics such as insider insights into China’s business environment, how China’s education system prepares its students for today’s working world, the belt and road initiative, what we can take from the evolution of China’s business landscape and how the democratization of the internet has played a role in that over the last 12 years, and of course, we talk about the hottest topic of the week, TikTok and WeChat’s futures in the USA. Enjoy!
