Chinese Blogger Captures Heart of Trans Pacific Ventures
In the midst of Western media's insatiable appetite for news about venture capital investments into Chinese tech companies, I managed to speak with Helen Wang, one of many young and bright overseas entrepreneurial Chinese, who has resided in San Francisco for over a decade since completing her master's in international development at Stanford University. She now regularly blogs about these trans-Pacific currents between Sand Hill Road and China. In one of her recent postings, she has so aptly captured the heart, if not essence of the controversy swirling around Google and Yahoo's submission to China's Internet authority. She wrote, "As a native Chinese, I completely understand these concerns and critics. However, I have to agree that the presence of American companies in China provides much greater benefit to the Chinese people. It will help democracy in the long run."

Wang also serves as Vice President of
Silicon Valley-China Wireless Technology Association
, a premier tech organization with deep ties to China's wireless industry with over 3000 members.

In between interviews with US venture capital firms, Wang openly acknowledges her country's long march to a market economy. "For a country that has three-thousand years of history in feudalismlinks, democracy is a gradual and long term process. It won't happen overnight. It's a matter of changing people's hearts and mindsets rather than changing the government and system."

The articulate Wang is a graduate of Hangzhou University which at the time of her graduation was largely focused on the humanities, rather than the proverbial math and science subjects located at Zhejiang University. These universities have now merged, but the globalist Wang, fondly recalls one of her teachers bringing into the classroom, outside reading materials, or as she viewed it " unofficial" reading, including Martin Luther King's prescient "I Have a Dream" speech.

It appears that she was not only a superior student but is fulfilling her own dream in America.
