Had a great lunch in Beijing with online media legend Jeremy Goldkorn, founder and editor of Danwei.org. I'll call him a legend because Jeremy, 37 (as I recall), has been in Beijing for 12 years, speaks fluent Mandarin and is regarded as the best "alternative" voice on what's happening in China as far as the media, marketing and the Internet.
I asked him how companies in China, both Chinese and multinational, are using social media. And yes, Chinese CEOs such as SOHO's Pan Shiyi, are blogging. Listen in...
Hello, Debbie. What a spectacular series of blog posts about your China tour. I think it is facinating that CEOs in China are adopting blogging as a communications tool. Is it your belief that the rate of adoption is higher than other countries?

Thanks for the kind words. Not spectacular really, in that I've left out - or not articulated properly - much of what I learned. I'm still making sense of it all. No, I don't think Chinese CEOs are adopting blogging more rapidly than in the U.S.
