I'm the author of Mingtiandi.com, a website covering China's listed real estate developers, mergers and acquisitions, and international investments by the country's property firms. During the last 11 years in China, I have served as an advisor to some of the world's largest real estate consultancies, including CBRE and Colliers International, and founded China's first online marketplace for commercial real estate, RightSite.asia. Since working with the US Department of State in Thailand in the early 1990s, I've built businesses in China, Vietnam and Thailand.
