Yeah. The other thing also, which I should look into but made sense when I heard it from a young Chinese business guy at Les Blogs 2.0 is that China moves at a different pace, it’s a very old (and huge) civilization with it’s own rythm. It is changing and sometimes doing it their way instead of forcing our way on them is a better way to help change along. Greatly resumed and simplified version but that’s the gist of what he was saying. I’m starting to have my doubts about Google but that might be the right way in this case.
