I Studied Math, then law (MA Dutch law), Keynes' economic theory, I got my Mba from famous INSEAD, had my own company in Europe with a subsidiary in China. I recently wrote the book called 'China Takes Over!'. Ten years ago, against all erroneous information in the press, I correctly predicted what is happening now, because better than most commentators I understand the background of China's growth. In my entertaining speeches I expose clearly: the threat from China, their practices, the power and cruely of the Beijing party apparatus, the reason why the US is right to start a fight and what are the elements that can make the US succeed; the importance of China's enreichment with our money, that has been overlooked so often. The present situation is fascinating.
