Dilemma of the Chinese Returnee

The Chinese economic growth is one of the miracles of the 21st century. Since its liberation in 1979, China has grown at annual rate of 10%. Investment poured in at an unprecedented rate, fueled by multinational companies looking for better return, and the wealth of the sixty million overseas Chinese eager to be part of the resurging motherland. Multinational companies recruited overseas Chinese - those who were educated in the West but with an assumed capacity to integrate into China - and asked them to return to China to help maximize the returns on their investment. As one of these Chinese returnees, Kevin Koh made several attempts to work and live in China. Join him on his journey of self discovery and share his candid observations, challenges, achievements and identity crisis. A must read for returnees looking for a posting to China. To the western executives this is a book with insight into the dilemma of a Chinese returnee and the diversity of China's 1.3 billion inhabitants.
