This week I’m chatting with longtime China trade expert Lee Sands. Lee served as the US chief trade negotiator with China and Japan from 1991 to 1997 and was one of the lead negotiators on China’s entry into the World Trade Organization. Lee is also spearheading AmCham Shanghai's Hangzhou Center, where he’s working to help the center reach more businesses. Lee and I chat about his time working in trade negotiations, what his experience taught him about the unique aspects of Chinese negotiators, and his outlook on future trade talks. We also talk about the Hangzhou Center and why more US companies should be looking at opportunities in Hangzhou.
