As one who did business for over twenty years with the government of the PRC and the Communist Party of China (CPC); spent countless days in the cities, hinterlands, offices, and homes of the only nation that comes close to competing with the United States; As one who partnered with the government of the PRC and the CPC for over twenty years; spent countless days in the cities, hinterlands, offices, and homes in the only nation that comes close to upending the system of laws that governs international interactions that the United States has upheld since World War II; experienced personal and professional victories and defeats in developing renewable energy businesses in the land of the dragon; briefed the CIA on what was happening on the ground there in the late 1990s and early 2000s; and celebrated relationships with his Chinese partners but dared to take China’s biggest defense contractor on when it crossed lines both moral and legal, “I can tell you a lot”.

“Patrick Jenevein recalls lessons that he learned from his business dealings in China in his politically minded memoir Dancing with the Dragon. Anecdotes about the challenges of working within a quite different cultural and political environment—from navigating bugged conversations to eating actual bugs—are interspersed throughout, marked by good humor in the face of daunting, emotionally draining challenges within the world of high-power international business and politics.”
