1. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I learned Chinese when I was in charge of China for an official French organization involved in strategic affairs. I also have been assigned in several French Embassies in Asia. On a personal note, I'm passionate about gardening.

Every day I visit around twenty websites on Asia. I frequent sites like Asia News Network, Asia Times, IHT and Asia One. When I work on one country for a lecture or an interview, I'm inclined to visit more websites that should include news agencies, newspapers and the country's official sites. When I have no time, I just watch BBC where I follow news and information about Asia-Pacific and South Asia regions.

My interest for Asia was born out of my desire to understand the region's unique culture. Asian culture is very different from the Occident.  Today, I think the best thing about Asia is the aggressive growth and progress demonstrated by many countries of this region.

I teach geopolitics in Asia and in some universities in China. Concurrent with my teaching job is my work for French corporations where I train their future expatriates for Asia.

I was just looking for a website which focus is on Asia. Then I found Asia Observer where I can find news articles and discussions about Asia and its countries.
