SHANGHAI (AFX) - Meg Whitman, president of eBay Inc, will be making frequent visits to China over the summer months to work on several projects, including the delayed launch of the company's online payment system PayPal, a spokesman for the company's China business said.
Aside from the PayPal plan, he said the company could not disclose details on specific projects. Industry sources have said that Whitman is concerned about the company's declining position relative to Chinese rival Taobao.com. link to article |

How appropriate. Whitman goes to Shanghai, after she Shanghai'ed the hands that feed her.
This is a case for Charlie Chan! |

| Maybe Taobao will send a few folks to pay Meg a visit. Like an old kung fu movie, I hope they... well nevermind... ;-) |
