I am feeling a bit of China Fatique recently – In brand management, there’s the concept of over-exposure of a brand. I’d call this over-exploitation. Every day, every publication have something to say about China. After Jim Rogers’ book, Bull In China (see book review page), I am swearing off China business books for a long while. There’s just nothing new to say anymore.
The next 9 months will be quite a torture – expect more China exploitation and Election campaigns. On top of that, you have the writers’ strike. Well, at least the Olympics itself should be interesting.
I agree. I am a frequent reader of China books and have decided to take a short break because I haven’t seen anything new out there at the moment.
Maybe try moving beyond business books? China Economic Review’s CER Classics series is very good and covers more than just business (history, culture, travel and politics).

Thanks J. I’m definitely going to check them out!
