Last year, I decided to focus my blogging on cross-border investment and technology in China through Tech & Deal China. This has been enjoyable, but I have decided not to pursue it as regularly for two reasons:
- I am too busy to do justice to such a broad topic. There are many news sources who do so much better, for both fact and opinion reporting. The two that I read every day are the Financial Times China pages and Young's China Business Blog.
- As I get more involved in China projects as an investor, there is an increasing risk of conflicts of interest and confidentiality concerns when I write publicly, restricting the topics about which I can blog.
So I will leave regular China blogging to others, but I will keep Tech & Deal China alive, posting any China blogs both there and on this blog -- which will become my primary blog.
The name change to The Hopeful Polymath and its new description ("Some thoughts of Maury Shenk as an investor, advisor and human being") reflects my desire and intent to broaden this blog to cover a wider variety of things on my mind, and I intend to write here more regularly. In the six years since I left law firm partnership and then set up my own business, I have discovered that what I love most in life (aside from people nearest to me) and business is learning about new things. Immodestly, hopefully, I aspire to be a polymath.
