The stint with Goldman in Hong Kong had rekindled his interest in China, however, and though his career brought him back to the U.S. in the mid-1990s, the lure of what was happening on the mainland proved irresistible. Two years ago he accepted an offer from U.S. hedge-fund manager James Rosenwald to set up shop in Shanghai, where Shu runs a China fund for Rosenwald's firm, Dalton Investments. He is also director of Dalton affiliate Grand River Investments, a private-equity firm that, among other things, invests...

Likewise, Chinese see the flood of less exalted foreigners arriving on the mainland in search of employment, business opportunities or the chance to learn Mandarin. They see, too, the way China's leaders are f?ted with increasing pomp and ceremony on trips as far afield as Germany, Africa, Australia and the U.S. Indeed, even Washington now looks to China to play a more pivotal role...
