A business memoir shaped by a change in perspective
Tim Clissold recounts arriving in China believing he could help bring the country into the modern world, then encountering local business operators whose resourcefulness unsettles that assumption. The memoir’s central arc is a shift from seeing China as a place to be transformed to respecting and admiring the people and country he had set out to conquer. Framed as both personal coming-of-age and parable, the book connects business experience with the limits of an outsider’s confidence.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
Mr. China tells the rollicking story of a young man who goes to China with the misguided notion that he will help bring the Chinese into the modern world, only to be schooled by the most resourceful and creative operators he would ever meet. Part memoir, part parable, Mr. China is one man's coming-of-age story where he learns to respect and admire the nation he sought to conquer.
