Listen Later

In this podcast we talk with Bin Wolfe, who knows a lot about what it takes to attract top talent to work for you in Mainland China.  She is Managing Partner of EY (Ernst & Young), responsible for People in the Asia Pacific region and speaks from a dual perspective:  She grew up in China, then left at 17 to attend college in the United States where she stayed, married and had children before returning to China two decades after she left.  She knows first-hand the changes that occurred during her absence and their importance to China’s new place in the world.   Bin talks of the new confidence and sense of patriotism the Chinese exhibit.  Mandarin has replaced hundreds of dialects spoken earlier, reflecting the remarkable shift to a unified language across the entire country.  She talks of the focus on education that is producing smart, ambitious, innovative millennials, just the kind of people EY wants to hire.  You’ll hear about these topics and more, including Alibaba, and the importance of distinguishing nationalism from patriotism.
