The Chinese Mindset -- Judge For Yourself
I have written a few posts (here, here, and here) on Janet Carmosky's speech on the "Chinese Mindset" at the recently completed China Forum. These posts generated a slew of comments and interest in the blogosphere:
- The Useless Tree, "Chinese Characteristics."
- China Hearsay, "Weighing in On the Chinese Mindset."
- The Shanghaiist, "Extra, Extra."
- The Peking Duck, "The Chinese Mindset."
- Far East Cynic, "The Irony..."
- Cal Poly MBA Trip, "Culture and the 'Chinese Mindset.'"
Many have rightfully questioned exactly what Ms. Carmosky said and you need question that no more. The good people at Plastics News (who did a truly excellent job of putting on the China Forum) have now put Ms. Carmosky's entire speech online and it can be heard here.
I urge you to give Ms. Carmosky a full listen.

"Judeo-Christian" I have to admit that since posting I have researched this term and it does not mean what I thought it means, and perhaps it's even meaningless. Thus, several of my posts are in fact nonsense due to usage of this term. I do apologize if this offended anyone.
It's also interesting to note how posts on other blogs took comments from here and completely miss quoted them, or put a "spin" in order to fit their own point of view.

What does Judeo-Christian mean and what did you think it meant?
Everyone spins a bit. It's human nature. Which blogs spun too much, and how?
