Discussion includes China’s “one belt” project. Footnote: Chinese companies have been investing heavily in telecommunications in Europe, and I have been told by someone working in the sector that their management is having trouble acquiring the personal (and language) skills necessary for smooth business dealings in a Western society.

Not a bad summary on Italy’s role, such as (18th minute) the Italian suggestion that Europe work with China to develop Africa to stop the immigrant flow. Merkel has rejected this…
I attended a tech exhibition for assistive devices recently, and the Chinese firm representatives were ridiculous. Most of them could not speak more than a few words, and kept motioning towards other Chinese counterparts, none of whom could speak a word of English. Even worse, their salesmanship was comparable to that of a 10-year old. Despite all the praise lavished on the Chinese for their economic feats, China seems like a cultural backwater where every Chinese is a cheap commodity ripe for abuse, enslavement, and exploitation. Communist China actually destroyed any trace of culture that may have existed before Mao. China is a hollowed out country of cheap slaves, $- centric corrupt magnates, and bastardized culture that cannot produce any cultural good of any value. I have not met a single Chinese person in over 30 . years of interaction who had the slightest bit of culture, integrity, or authenticity. All turned into cheap carbon copies of the West who can copy western culture but cannot produce anything on their own. I may be wrong and I hope I am wrong and please correct me if I am wrong …
Yes, and my acquaintance has also reported that those cash-rich companies don’t pay on time either!
I hope that they’re at least paying for all those pipe organs that they are ordering!
On the tech innovation side, though, China has surpassed the US for patents filed yearly, and soon will surpass it in per capita terms … however, the quality of those patents is debatable … and technology does not equal culture
