Hello, Shanghai
May 20th, 2005I arrived in Shanghai last night. Some initial pictures of the journey and my excursions so far today are here.
It feels good to be back in China.
On the plane I ran into Prof. Hillary Josephs and her husband. We had seen each other in New York last month, at a Columbia Law School conference on Chinese law. We were both on our way to Shanghai to teach a group of US students a summer course.

Hi, Prof. Hutchens, I ran across your blog one day when doing some legal research and keep reading your words from time to time. I’m a young lawyer now in Shanghai and dealing with lots of FDI and M&A work. I received my LL.M from Fudan University, Shanghai last year. I find your view on Chinese commercial legal regime very interesting, and hope perhaps I can be of some help for your research in Chinese law.

Thanks for your note, Mark. Hope we can meet in Shanghai one day.
