His meticulous, unforgiving reviews could make or break a new restaurant and the prospect of a Bruni visit regularly sent chefs into panics. But Bruni's relationship with food went beyond his day job: as he relates in his new book, Born Round, the man paid to eat had a history of eating disorders stretching all the way back to his childhood.

But in the case of China, the business relationship is quite different. China does not yet have many obvious competitors to U.S firms, though one day it will. At present, not only is China itself a huge and growing market for American firms, but those businesses increasingly source their goods in China - in a way that few have in Japan.
