Newsletter: Maybe We Call This the Asia Business Jokes Newsletter?

Dear Global Business Enthusiast,

Michael Michelini (@michelini) here. You’re getting this email because you requested my periodic thoughts on international business from Hong Kong.

[Edit: Actually, it’s possible that you’ve never gotten an email from me. Somebody might have just given you the link to this page, which is an online archive of an email that I sent to folks who had asked for it. If you’d like to get articles like this in your inbox, totally free, about once a week or two, give me your email address.]
This week: Chinese potato seeds on the moon, Club 7 experience, HK parking investments and more.

This week is event week down in south China. Techcrunch just passed earlier this week, white Collar fight nights, China business cast meetups, GFA ecommerce meetups, Wechat workshops, panels, I’m getting tired just typing it up in this newsletter.

But of course, making time for our weekly “GFA Pulse” newsletter. Actually a few of these news updates got me to chuckle.


GFA Pulse Number 127

Chinese technology is blowing me away! China now is going to send potato seeds and silkworm eggs to the moon to study how mini-ecosystems works up there? Curious about all this will turn out? For me, I have already start thinking if I would like to live up there. The cost might be expensive but it is once in a lifetime. Check it out:

This has been a hot discussion topic for a while now! Even at the TechCrunch Event, VCs are discussing about this. But it seems a conclusion has been made here:
Despite challenges, startups see a bright future for tech companies in Hong Kong
What are your thoughts on your this?

And yes, this exists:
