from the home of CC Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 glad he's getting recognition for his selfless act, but wouldn't it be great if selfless acts were so commonplace that they didn't warrant news stories written about them?

It's unfortunate but we are all guilty at times of generalizing and of course the truth is there are good and bad in every country. I used to work for a Chinese owned company and found a huge variation between the Chinese I worked with. The younger university educated ones were mostly very open to new ideas, and were very good to work with. The older ones could be very difficult at times and even our young Chinese staff found it difficult to work with them. In fact several ended up resigning telling me 'I can't work with these people'!!
