China Editorial Review
**** "Mr. China: A Memoir" by Tim Clissold gives readers an insightful and often humorous glimpse into the tumultuous early days of capitalism in China during the late 80's and early 90's. As one of the first Western businessmen to invest in China post-Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms, Clissold's narrative serves as both a cautionary tale and an entertaining chronicle of cultural clashes and business misadventures. Readers find the memoir to be educational and engaging, filled with personal anecdotes that highlight the complexities of operating within a rapidly changing market. Clissold relates many amusing yet frustrating encounters, emphasizing the significant cultural differences that came into play when Western business practices met China's unique socio-economic landscape. Many reviewers noted how well Clissold articulates the 'peculiarities of Chineseness,' making it not just a story of business but also an exploration of cultural understanding. His humor, coupled with profound insights, resonated particularly with readers who have had their own encounters in China. Clissold's ability to contextualize the economic transformations he endured reinforces the notion that adaptability and cultural sensitivity are essential for success in China. Overall, "Mr. China" is recommended for anyone remotely interested in doing business in China or who seeks to understand the nuances of East-West relations during a pivotal period in history. The book's blend of narrative flair and critical analysis positions it as a crucial read for both aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned business veterans. **
