MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Derek Elmer is Founder and CEO of I-On-Asia, a firm that specializes in intelligence gathering and analysis, anti-counterfeiting and what he calls sensitive operations, notably in China. He shares in this podcast some of what he knows about who is doing what to whom (at least in Asia) and for how much. He’s got provocative but credible backup for his predictions, among them that the US, Russia, Eastern Europe and China will be involved in armed conflict within the next 3-5 years.
We talk about that and corruption, anti-corruption, counterfeiting of everything from Nike shoes to cars, how the Chinese manage to send their kids to school in the West for free (it’s all about shrewd real estate purchases) and much more in this can’t-miss episode of Asia and the West.
