My conclusion was that it is very difficult to carry out research now back in China. It is even more difficult to be an academic chairperson of a department because many people are not satisfied and few have realistic expectations. During my stay, I want to Analogic and Scientific, Inc. in Shenzhen. The company is a joint venture of US Analogic in Boston and Chinese Scientific in Shenzhen. Shanghai will soon be turned into something like New York.
Most investments are in the area of real estate and infra structures.
However, the living standards have been increased very much. Many families have wall-mounted air conditioners, probably due the heat wave suffered this Summer. Prices are probably the most changed. I tryed very hard to justify the increase. I always thought that prices will automatically go down if people stop buying because it is too high.
