Dismantling common misconceptions Doctoroff provides the context Westerners need to understand the distinctive worldview that drives Chinese businesses & consumers including: why family & social stability take precedence over individual self-expression & the consequences for education innovation & growth; their fundamentally different understanding of morality & why Chinese tolerate human rights abuses rampant piracy & endemic government corruption; & the long & storied past that still drives decision making at corporate local & national levels. Change is coming fast & furious in China challenging not only how the Western world sees the Chinese but how they see themselves.
