Birchtree Global has been working in China for 20 years, ever since we were founded.  Our leadership team has worked in China for the last
30 years, so we are keenly interested in reading well-researched information.  Here is a terrific article from the Brookings Institution to which
we’d like to direct your attention.  As you plan for 2020, this might be exceptionally valuable.

I was thrilled to meet Dr. Ken Lacovara, paleontologist at Rowan University, Fellow of the Explorers Club, and discoverer of the Titanosaurian Dinosaur Dreadnoughtus. In March 2019 Ken received the Explorers Club’s highest honor, the Explorers Club Medal, awarded for “extraordinary contributions directly in the field of exploration, scientific research, or to the welfare of humanity.  His colleagues hosted a surprise party for him (after spending the day digging in the Fossil Park…) to celebrate his medal at the Edelman Fossil Park in New Jersey.

If you don’t know about this park, I encourage you to go visit.  You can dig up fossils and keep them.  A great place to show young people the wonders of paleontology.

It seems like everyone wants to invite you to join a webinar, watch a program, or read a blog.  The problem is you don’t always know how well the information being produced is researched.  Or, the information presented may be about a country of interest, but not a subject.  A big concern right now is upcoming changes to legal, financial, HR, or tax regulations that will take effect January 1, 2020.  Then, there is BREXIT, for which what will happen is anybody’s guess….

What can you do if you are looking for well-researched information upon which you can build your business?  Here is one idea….

Dr. Walsh’s latest research on Cuba is featured in the 2019 new book, “The Cuba-U.S. Bilateral Relationship: New Pathways and Policy Choices”.  In collaboration with noted scholars, business, and policy experts this book features the latest information and perspectives on Cuba.  The book should be particularly informative as we head into the 2020 election year.  Get your copy today and be informed about this important topic.    https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-cuba-us-bilateral-relationship-9780190687366?cc=us&lang=en&
