This report was co-authored by Sean Randolph, President & CEO of the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Economic</strong><br />
Forum, who managed its development and contributed to its research and drafting, and San<br />
Francisco-based international trade and transportation consultant Niels Erich, who conducted<br />
most of its interviews and much of its primary research. Forum intern Daniel Galhardo provided<br />
additional research support.<br />
The original research for this report included interviews and/or correspondence with experts in<br />
the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Area</strong> and in China who, through their personal experience as executives, entrepreneurs,<br />
investors, academic researchers and representatives of government agencies and trade associations,<br />
helped provide a richer, nuanced understanding of the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Area</strong>-Greater China relationship.<br />
