I was in Beijing in 2000, the firm I worked for has a consultant from Taiwan for all the business development, marketing issues. It was fashionable at that time for many avant garde Chinese firms to have marketing people from Taiwan.

however, I had one prediction with my friends there, that within a decade, native Chinese people will re-define marketing practices, and re-write MBA books.

how time changes, that came even faster than I thought,

now, a lot of people are still so much in doubt with Chinese government,
that this and that can't be resolved, and days before doom are numbered,

let me write this prediction here, that within a few years, there will be more and more Chinese officials being invited to Harvard and everywhere else, to give lectures on governance practices that are pragmatic, efficient, effective, and at the end, mostly benefiting to the society as a whole,

the world is moving, fusing, converging,

wonders will happen, but most likely, from China... and, if my view count, it's happening now,

and that would be for the better for all human beings,
