Inovation exported to China
Someone mentioned Chinese students here in North America. There are thousands of them here in British Columbia and they are generally hard working. In co-op programs at our universities and in industry those co-op students are encouraged to be creative and they are. Without the old time fetters of older communism these kids are real dynamos. It's nothing to do with bad genes, it's purely direction from the top that has stagnated Chinese innovation. I think that as many of these young potential entrepreneurs return home we will see more and more new business and new products. It must be an interesting time for them. We (my wife and I) had a pair of brothers from China who had board and room with us. Both went to college here, one continued on to university. The one who went to university went to work for a cell phone company and then transferred back to China. People coming here and acquiring a technical education and working knowledge of English have a much better time finding good working opportunities back in China. Anyway, I wish those hard working souls all the best. I know that our society is slowly slipping into the murk because many would rather play video games than get out and work hard. It's the same old story of getting what you pay for, in
our case what you work for.
