China Has Health Care Too

A few months ago I was on a China panel at Northwestern's Kellogg Business School where, among other things, we were asked to list China's best opportunities. I stressed that because I am not a China business expert, I would have to answer the question based entirely on what I was seeing of my firm's clients and, based on that, I listed health care, technology, and food.

If I had to pick just one of the three, I would pick health care and technology (I know I said one, but hey, it's MY blog). I would pick these two now because even within just the last few months, China's government has made clear, both in its policy statements and in its spending, that it is going to be increasingly emphasizing these two during the next few years.

A couple years ago I did a post listing a whole slew of top China technology blogs and I plan to do another one soon. There is a surprising dearth of really good China food blogs and, as far as I know, no blog focuses on China's food business, which is too bad.

I am aware of only one blog with China's health care. It is called Asia Health Care Blog and I have been a regular reader for months. It is written by two Beijingers, Damjan DeNoble, who has a Public Policy B.A. with a certificate in Health Policy from Duke, and James Flanagan, who has a B.Com from McGill.

If you care about health care in China (and you should), I urge you to check out Asia Health Care Blog.
