Off to China

(9/10/2005)

I am heading to Beijing today to meet my old friend Bob Mundell and check out the new Mundell International University of Entrepreneurship (MIUE) named in his honor.

I spend a lot of time talking about the importance of technology and education. We have to learn that in today's global economy, we are competing for capital, not jobs. Human capital tops the list. China gets it. The MIUE is an excellent example of how China is moving aggressively to bring in top quality talent--managers, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and, yes, even economists--from around the world to train their people.

I will also speak at the China International Economic Forum,Shenyang Summit in Shenyang. Should be fun.
