The China Economic Review just published a piece on China business relationships by Andrew Hupert, a professor of negotiation at NYU in Shanghai. The article is entitled, "Trouble in commercial paradise," and its thesis is that Chinese companies usually view their relationships with Western companies as short-term.
Hupert starts out by talking of how even the "big boys" have recently been complaining about being tossed aside by China:
Long term relationships are never easy, especially when one of the partners is a Chinese SOE. Until recently, many European and a few of the more patient & deep-pocketed US firms took upon themselves the role of a corporate Dr. Phil, offering easy, smug advice on how to woo and win the affection of a Chinese partner. But now even the happiest of Western partners – like GE, Siemens and BASF – are publically complaining that they are not feeling very significant in China in any more. If there’s trouble in commercial paradise for the most eligible suitors, where does that leave the newcomers?
Hupert goes on to seek to reconcile the apparent "paradox" between the insistence that "Chinese dealmakers have a long-range, relationship-oriented view of business" and their consistently...

Norman Rockwell and Storytelling
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Source: Marquette University Law School Faculty Blog
The Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., recently opened a new exhibit entitled “Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the Collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.”* Rockwell’s art speaks to filmmakers Lucas and Spielberg for its ability to tell a story. Rockwell’s storytelling can also speak to lawyers seeking to use narrative in persuasive brief writing.
The exhibit begins with a series of photographs that Rockwell used when selecting props in Back to Civvies, a painting about a soldier returning home and trying on his old (and now too-small) civilian clothes in front of his dresser mirror. The photos show how Rockwell arranged real-life props such as a bomber model and poster, college pennant, and uniform jacket with campaign ribbons to depict the pilot’s life before leaving for World War II and after coming home.
Rockwell found details from his life, often things appeared from his work room or house in his paintings. Rockwell painted his own sofa in Let Nothing You Dismay, and he painted a ship model in The Toy Maker that can be seen hanging on the wall of his studio in a photo taken almost forty years after the...

Con law, con law everywhere. Randy Barnett and Jack Balkin continued their debate over the constitutionality of the individual insurance mandate of the health care reform law. Barnett argued on Sunday that the Obama administration’s move to defend the mandate as a tax indicated its assessment that the Commerce Clause might not be sufficient, thus refuting those who dismissed the Commerce Clause challenge as frivolous. Balkin responded that it just shows government attorneys being good lawyers by piling on every argument they can think of, and that what’s really going on here is an attempt to turn back the clock on the cultural-legal shift that accompanied the New Deal. (See Josh Blackman for more on Balkin’s argument.) Barnett replies that if he’s making an “off-the-wall” argument, he’s got 21 state Attorney Generals with him, and that the truly unprecedented argument is “[t]he claim that Congress may require any person in the US to do anything it deems to be in the public interest or pay a fine or penalty to the IRS.”
That wasn’t the only New Deal flashback this week....
