| Where you see weakness, I see strength. American companies are obsessed with political correctness, affirmative action, marketing and copyright law. Chinese firms are only concerned with winning. They'll steal, lie and cheat, as long as they can build a superior product. Because they have no marketing, the product has to speak for itself. Furthermore, Chinese culture is ruthlessly competitive as you alluded to. Guess what? This means it is incredibly robust and successful. I personally believe the west is collapsing in on its kindness, and the east is rising up on its strength. A cursory look at what the two societies value will tell you the whole story. West: Feigned Altruism at the expense of survival East: Survival and Victory at the expense of everything else Who wins? I think history can make a good guess... |
