What the West Gets Wrong About China.pdf

Recommended article on China, by the Harvard Business Review. Good read if you want to understand why FLC has managed to get so far into China, and why the other 2 competitors haven't. FLC understands how to deal with the Chinese respectfully since they are Israeli and they too were an oppressed people, read having gone through the Holocaust.

Indirectly, to understand why the Chinese government is pushing for clean air, water and soil, you have to understand the history of China. They don't want to be seen as the backward country anymore, having been dominated by Western powers since the late 1800s. One of the ways of showing that they are a civilised country is to have a clean environment. They are not barbarians as some would like to depict them but disciplined and organised as a people to keep their place pristine and modern. Hence, the top down directive from the Central Govt in their various 5 years plans, and the program carried out executed by FLC's clients, which are SOEs.

Kudos to FLC. They understood how the Chinese think and works. Being Israeli also helps, a lot. All of this has helped them to be where are now, way ahead of the other two. Just some ramblings on a Friday. Happy reading to all.
