Business With China.” The sheer size of
China has always appealed to foreign
investors, but bureaucratic obstacles, cultural differences and uncertainty over
market conditions have created concerns.
N o w, with the signing of the historic
U.S.-China trade pact paving China’s
way to World Trade Organization membership, trade and investment opportunities appear brighter than ever. What
implications does China’s WTO membership have for you? Will Beijing have
the political will to make good on its
promises? Will China be forced to
increase the dismantling of state-owned
enterprises? Should a business align with
a Chinese enterprise or go it alone? What
are the secrets of winning in this market?
How does one best solve diffic u l t
Chinese supply chain and logistics challenges? How do you hire and retain
Chinese talent? “Doing Business Wi t h
China” is an intensive, hands-on seminar
that will provide current information on
the opportunities and challenges of
t o d a y ’s China market. Interactive presentations, case studies and intimate round
tables with seasoned executives and
experts from the United States and
China – over the course of three days –
will provide practical assistance on entering or expanding your operations.

on Art and Fiction
Susan Sontag addressed the May 1
gathering of the Los Angeles Institute
for the Humanities, which meets twice
a month at USC’s Faculty Center. The
novelist and essayist discussed “The
A rt of Fiction” in connection with her
new bestseller “In America.” The
n o v e l ’s main character, Mary n a
Zalezowska, is based on the legendary
19th century Polish actress Helena
Modjeska, who eventually settled in
Anaheim and tried to establish a utopian colony there. Called “lithe and playful” by the New York Times, the novel
has also been criticized both for lifting
whole sections from historical documentation and for being too liberal
with facts from Modjeska’s life. Wi t h
Sontag (from left) are institute
founders Steve Ross, a USC history professor and labor historian, and Steve
Wa s s e rman, the editor of the Los
Angeles Book Review. Sontag is a
founding member of New Yo r k ’s 25-
y e a r-old Institute of the Humanities,
which served as a model for the USCbased institute. ■
