Hello from rainy Hong Kong. This is my first trip to China this year and since I started the blog. It's been raining here for several days and landslides are an issue. This morning it is literally pouring rain. I'm hoping it stops later so I can get a run in.
In the news here in HK this week are lots of articles about cost issues in China and their implications for the economy. The stock market here has had its worst few weeks in years. There is lots of uncertainty. It's all good information and background for the presentation I am giving on June 23 for the Madison International Trade Association (MITA) on Cost Increases in China.
I am here working mainly on one key project for one of my customers, but I'm also working on others while I'm here. It's good to get here and re-connect with the staff in person. It's tough sometimes to judge when to travel here. I miss lots of stuff at home (this weekend I'm missing Father's Day), but it's important to build relationships with the staff and to work directly with factories. I probably will be here more in the future than I have over the last 18 months.
That's it for now. I'll post more during my trip.
