Dear Mr.
Daniel Zhu ,
My name is Erinn Alarcon and I am
the Assistant Director of Technology and Industry Research at the Japan External
Trade Organization (JETRO) in San Francisco. Our office has
received a special request from Mr. Tomoyuki Nakagawa, a senior research fellow from Japan's
Institute for International Policy Studies. He is currently writing a position
paper for the Japanese Cabinet about Japanese and Chinese businesses and, as he is
scheduled to visit Silicon Valley during the second week of January, would like
to interview high-tech companies and organizations in Silicon Valley to discuss
issues related to business in China .
Mr. Nakagawa is very interested in
knowing your views and thoughts on the following topics :
1) How
do US companies see/assess the capability and technological know-how of Chinese companies?
2) What
have US companies gained from China's WTO membership?
3) What
strategy do US companies have for business in/with China?
4) How
do US companies view the movement for the Regional Trade Agreement in East Asia?
5) What
role do US companies expect from Japan in these contexts?
In this regard, may we request for an
appointment with the proper person on the 8th, 9th, or 10th of January 2003?
For any clarification or reply,
please contact me any time at 408-387-1330. My e-mail address is erinn@jetrosf.org。Hoping for your positive and immediate
reply. Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Erinn Alarcon
Assistant Director of Technology and Industry Research
JETRO San Francisco
