On 5 April I was once more on a panel organized by BIMBA (Beijing International MBA at Peking University).
The theme was again “All the Questions You Have About China But Were Afraid to Ask”.
The panel was hosted by Bruce Stening (Professor of management, Vlerick International Dean to BIMBA). Panelists: Tony Liu, Ph.D. Associate Professor – (Director International Programs of BIMBA – National School of Development – Peking University) and myself.
This time it was a group of nearly 40 EMBA students. Turned out to be one of the most lively and interesting Q&A sessions I ever had with BIMBA. Some pretty sharp and challenging questions and lots of active debating.

Location: Leo KoGuan, which is also the School of Political Affairs, next to Beida.
The students were of the hard working – hard partying type and they surprised me by knowing more about my street (Gongti Xi Lu, aka the Gongti Strip). Interesting feedback on the brand new “True Colors” night spot.
After my tip they decided to go native Belgian for dinner and we were nearly twenty to have a lively dinner at Morel’s Restaurant with lots of food, Belgian beer and Filliers Jenever (thanks Renaat!). They asked me to join and it was a great evening.
Looking forward to see more of Vlerick EMBA!
