A luncheon discussion on the challenges of doing business in China with Patrick Jenevein, author of the new book Dancing with the Dragon: Cautionary Tales of the New China from an Old China Hand.
Based on true events, Dancing with the Dragon shines light on the challenges and complexities posed today by the new China and what American corporations with a presence in China need to know to navigate the critical coming years. Patrick has almost three decades of on-the-ground experience investing in China’s energy sector and he will provide a firsthand account of both the promise and pitfalls of doing business in China.
Speaker Background:
Patrick Jenevein serves as the chief executive at Pointe Bello, an intelligence-driven, strategy development firm that provides pioneering open-source intelligence to governmental and commercial bodies on the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) economic statecraft activity worldwide. Prior to launching Pointe Bello, he co-founded Tang Energy Group and, partnering with PRC state-owned enterprises, developed several businesses in the power-generating and electrical infrastructure sectors. Those included power plants, wind farms, and a manufacturer of wind turbine blades. In 2022, litigation efforts that Jenevein led resulted in collecting dollars in Dallas through a publicly-filed document requiring signatures from Beijing.
Jenevein is a graduate of Davidson College, a Council on Foreign Relations life member, and past Chairman of both the Dallas Committee on Foreign Relations and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas. His speaking appearances have included the Council on Foreign Relations, the Aspen Institute, Milken Institute, National Security Council, Pentagon and Naval Postgraduate School, and the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission. He has published work in, among others, The Wall Street Journal, Taipei Times, Business Week, Fortune, and The Dallas Morning News.
