China's Influence in Cars Running Deeper, Wider

When you refer to Chinese being innovative you must be referring to other Chinese living outside China, not the 1.3 billion Chinese I meet every day in the past three year.

China is a country based on Communism, a country that teaches its citizens to listen and obey. That is why most Chinese listen to their teachers and elders without questioning. The college graduates are knowledgeable and intelligent, but lack independent thinking. Please name one innovation accepted worldwide that China has in the past twenty years.

Remember this country has a culture that is proud in 'copying'. They consider 'stealing' as smart business. In fact if one reads the Chinese law, selling pirated CD and software is only illegal when the retailer has 5000 or more copies in his possession. This is a country where the government condones dishonesty. How else can you explain now the central government has given approval to all the state owned enterprises not to honor their losses in derivatives?

BTW this is not a China bashing comment as I have enjoyed living here in the past and will live here for the foreseeable future. I am speaking as I see it...

Beijing's Hybrid Hypocrisy

Mr. Wolf seems to forget that he is in a foreign country, at best a Third World country. Things in foreign countries are not the same as in the U.S. If Mr. Wolf does not like how things are he is certainly welcome to leave even though this is a Communist country.

Being a US citizen myself I many times are embarassed at the outrageous behavior of my country man. I am not implying that Mr. Wolf is an American. I am saying that Mr. Wolf is exhibiting behavior by US citizens traveling abroad. We do lack the consideration, tact, and thoughtfulness that other foreigners have (especially the Europeans and certain Asians).

If Mr. Wolf is in China on business he should be thankful that he is employed to work on behalf of his company. If China is as well developed as US I doubt that he would still have his job.
