Living Abroad in China: An American's Story

Doug Sparks will give a talk about his time living abroad in China, including cultural differences in daily life and business, food, travel, and more. 

Doug is the author of the recently published book "A Decade in the Chinese Semiconductor Industry: An American's Story," which will also be for sale at the event with a book signing to follow. 

About the book: 

"China is asserting itself on the world stage in places like Taiwan, the South China Sea, Korea, Tibet, and in advanced technologies like space, renewable energy, and semiconductors. Semiconductors are one of the key building blocks in the modern world, controlling artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and consumer products like smartphones, electric vehicles, and virtual reality. This book is a primer on Chinese culture and how this related to the semiconductor business in China. The author has been involved with this industry for 30 years, including more than 10 years in China." - book jacket
