I’m the China research director for Gavekal Dragonomics, an independent economic research firm with offices in Hong Kong and Beijing.

This blog is a venue for me to write about stuff I feel like writing about. It is wholly personal and does not represent my employer in any way.

I used to be a reporter for The Wall Street Journal in China; more about my professional background is at my LinkedIn profile.

If you’re curious, the name of the blog is a Raymond Chandler reference.
