Economist all of the world are in agreement that by the year 2025 China will surpass the United States as the largest global economy; by 2035 it will double that of the US. Does this mean foreigners will will flock to China as opposed to the US to find decent work as a result of this prediction? I'm sure our increasing unemployment rate will only further prove this possibility. We might even see a few Americans traveling to the People's Republic just to get a taste of this new economy. This video might have the answer- you decide for yourself!

May 24th - Company Info Received
After weeks and weeks (and weeks) of waiting I finally received an email telling me what company I will be interning for this summer over in Beijing! The company is B&D Law Firm and I cannot be more ecstatic. They are one of China's oldest and largest multinational firms and with over 40 partners and 200 legal professionals; they also have firms in Hong Kong, the UK, and even the good old U S of A. The firm in Beijing is located in an area known as Wangjing which is regarded as the city's "technological hub." They share a building with such companies as Siemens, Microsoft, Daimler, and Motorola.
B&D Law Firm deals with a multitude of practices such as international investments, mergers and acquisitions, banking, and intellectual property, just to name a few. IP law is the route I want to take in the future so I am hoping to be involved in the department heavily. More info to come later when I arrive!
Today marks the 12 day countdown until I depart from JFK International to Switzerland, Switzerland to Beijing and the beginning of a life changing experience. Hope you all enjoy reading and seeing the pictures/videos I post on this blog.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
