During the year I spent in China in 2005-2006, I learned that what I admire most about the humble, hard-working Chinese people is their determination and dedication to problem-solving.
The Chinese people are exceptionally creative, especially when faced with extraordinary circumstances that we, as Americans, don’t have, probably don’t know about, and perhaps can’t even imagine. However, unfortunately, many people can’t look past reactionary news reports of rampant piracy to accurately observe the real innovation that is happening in technology and business there. Through my participation on the upcoming China 2.0 tour, I invite you to look beyond.
I’m interested in learning about the problems that people in China are solving right now, and even more interested in the problems they are working to solve. I want to know what these problems are. And I want you to know what they are. Because then, and only then, can we all begin to see new possibilities for solutions and identify opportunities to have our two great countries work together to solve them.
