Loading ...Bloomberg: China Should Expand Information Access
In the first speech of his four-day China trip, Mike Bloomberg called for China to relax controls on information. He said that access to information is a key driver of innovation, and also that China should strengthen its intellectual property protections to help encourage innovation. Further, he called for increased cooperation between China and the United States and met with Senior Chinese legislator Cheng Siwei.
The New York Press opines:
But if one thinks about the combination of foreign– and domestic-travel the mayor has made in the run-up to the election year ahead, it’s extraordinary.
Mr. Bloomberg likes to couch his travels in terms of his mayoralty. “We have roughly 500,000 people of Chinese ancestry in this city,” he said last week at City Hall. “We are a center of trade. We are a center of finance. What China does is very important to us.”
He is also scheduled to speak at the climate conference in Bali. Quite a trip for someone who’s supposedly not running; he’s certainly making all the right moves.
