"Brian is an uncommon and valuable combination of brilliant, Chinese intellect and Western style forward thinking.  His success is due to a seemingly endless network of high level contacts both in the U.S. and China.  I had the pleasure of speaking with Brian at a symposium on doing business in China and was honored to be on the same panel as he. Anyone wanting to explore new business opportunities inside China would be remiss by not consulting with him at some stage of the project.  I hope to know Brian for many years to come."
