For almost two decades, Jeremy Haft has been building companies on the front lines in China. He has overseen hundreds of sourcing and import/export programs between American and Chinese enterprises in a wide variety of industries and agriculture, spanning shipbuilding and refineries, to auto parts and medical supplies, to maple syrup and cowhides. Haft’s current start-up is a public-private partnership with Cornell University Cooperative Extension, funded by a grant from New York State, to build export markets in China for New York agriculture. An adjunct professor at Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service and McDonough School of Business, he is the author of All the Tea in China, a primer on how to do business in China, and the upcoming Unmade in China, which examines America’s enduring competitive advantages over China in the coming century. He has conducted many briefings about China trade and U.S. competitiveness to members of Congress, ambassadors, senior military officers, and the business community. His analysis has also been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, CNN, NPR, CNBC, and Fox, among others.
