Our monthly lunch at Morel’s Restaurant

Our Old China Hands lunch 7 December in Morel’s Restaurant failed to beat our previous record of May 2018, but it was again pretty full house: we were 37. Some no-shows, some simply forgot it…
As always a very lively lunch, the last one of 2018.

Our OCH members in the news!

This time of the year we saw several interviews, mostly related to the celebration of “40 years opening up” of China. See here a selection:
