Has Carl Crow done everything before?

Paul French

Thomas Crampton has been talking to quite a few of our speakers at Chinabiz Speakers. Here you can see Paul French, taking on one of our other prominent speakers, Tom Doctoroff. Paul French has been publishing a book on the journalist/entrepreneur Carl Crow, a Tough Old China Hand: The Life, Times, and Adventures of an American in Shanghai.
French argues that Doctoroff is wrong in portraying himself as a pioneer in China and that all has been done before the Second World War, indeed by Carl Crow. Folowwing that argument, all honor should probably go to Marco Polo for opeing up China, although he did not yet arrive in a Buick.

Both Paul French and Tom Doctoroff are available as speakers through Chinabiz Speakers. Of course it would be a great idea to have them both together on the stage. Do drop me a line if you are interested.
