Executive Director Jean-Marc F. Blanchard interviewed by South China Morning Post about China Investment Corporation

South China Morning Post reporter Frank Tang interviewed Dr. Jean-Marc F. Blanchard, Executive Director of the Mr. & Mrs. S.H. Wong Center for the Study of Multinational Corporations, for a story relating to the 10th anniversary of the China Investment Corporation (CIC), China's massive sovereign wealth fund. Dr. Blanchard shared his insights about the CIC's objectives, investment portfolio, and investment performance. Dr. Blanchard noted that the CIC remained heavily oriented internally, remained quite cautious in its investment activities due to a fear of consequences for poor investment performance, and that this conservative investment stance was producing rather mediocre investment performance. Dr. Blanchard also offered some thoughts about how the US government might react to CIC investment. The original story appears at Frank Tang, "Ten Years On, Where to Now for China's Sovereign Wealth Fund?"
