I believe my departure at the very least will lead to an improvement in the problems I identified in terms of governance, the competence of management and the human friendliness of the culture. I think they will be very careful not to make a glaring mistake.
However, I just got an email before this very committee meeting from one of my sources inside the bank. Apparently, the foreign employees when they leave the bank, all of their archives, their records, are completely removed from the system. I feel like the reaction at the bank is to—
They demoted the communications department. I used to report to President Jin, and I guess they punished the department by forcing the department to report through the corporate secretary. I believe it's going to be hard for them to recruit foreign talent.
I have had lots of people ask me about my experience. I have provided transparent, open commentary. I wish many of the people who work there very well. There are some talented, well-educated, very impressive people there, and I miss my friends in China, my Chinese friends, whom I will never see again probably because I can't set foot in that country.
