In this episode of China Money Podcast, we feature guest Kevin Parker, CEO of New York-based investment management firm, Sustainable Insight Capital Management. Parker was the global head of Deutsche Asset Management, which manages $750 billion, from 2004 to 2012.

Parker shares his thoughts on the growth of sustainable investing, explains why China is setting the global environmental policy this year, and how China is likely to lower the cost of electric vehicle productions.

Q: Let's start with something fun. You own and have run a bio-dynamic winery in Southern France called Chateau Maris Cru starting from the late 1990s. What's the best and the most difficult part about running your own winery?

A: The best part is drinking (the wine), of course. After a career on Wall Street with a telephone in one hand and sitting in front of a computer and moving money around, (it's nice) to make something tangible. Something that people can taste, feel and enjoy.

(Our) winery has been bio-dynamic, or organic, for 17 years. Being a sustainable farmer for 17 years gives me certain credibility (to discuss sustainability issues). But it takes about seven years to convert a vineyard away from the use of pesticides, fungicides and synthetic chemicals to a completely natural approach. You see that the soils really come alive. Being a New Yorker and naturally impatient, it taught me something about time and patience.

In this episode of China Money Podcast, guest Curtis Chin, former U.S. Ambassador to the Asian Development Bank, talks with our host Nina Xiang in New York about the recent social unrest in Thailand and why it hasn't happened in China; how should emerging economies in Asia deal with the little "BRIC"; and what should Chinese companies do to improve their corporate governance.

Q: You are based in Bangkok, Thailand, at the Asian Institute of Technology. Why do you think the kind of social unrest that's happening in Thailand hasn't happened in China during the past 25 years?

A: Some would say there has been social unrest in China. It's just not as reported as it should be. It has certainly happened in 1989, even though that might not be the role model for other countries on how to handle this type of issue.

What's interesting about countries in Asia is that there is no single one right way. No one can tell China or Thailand what's the best way forward. Every country moves forward in their own pace based on their own characteristics.

Q: What kind of odds would you put on a recurrence of 1989 in China?

A: I'd say 10%. I don't see the Chinese government allowing that kind of gathering any time soon. What I do see happening is that the Chinese people continue to express concerns on corruption and the divide of the rich and the poor.

Thailand's Gini coefficient, which is a measure of income inequality, is at the top of the list (in Asia). Hong Kong is also on the top. So this is the key issue facing China. Is the Chinese government getting a handle on the social inequalities?

Q: You have rich experience in government relations and corporate governance. What do you think Chinese companies need to improve in these aspects, aside from strengthening their accounting practices?
