About Michael Levin
Throughout his business career and education, Michael has
lived and worked in Shanghai, Moscow, Hong Kong,
Jerusalem, and Washington, DC. His occupational
endeavors and thirst for knowledge typically found him
working as a liaison between disparate companies and
different countries. Levin’s first-hand knowledge of China
and Russia and his big-picture view have allowed him to
write this book with great clarity, scholarship and without
portraying the United States as either the hero or the
victim.
Levin’s previous work experiences include a position at
The Asian Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong, at Diagnostic
Products Corporation in China and as a management
consultant to the World Bank Project Coordination Unit in
Moscow.
