The article referenced in the above tweet is largely about Americans trying to thrive as expats in China (from a personal and business perspective). It appears to be written from a “China centric perspective”. The article and comments reinforce what Roger Conklin has been saying for years:
“U.S. policies and culture hurt the ability of Americans and American companies to compete internationally. We all (with the exception of the U.S. Government: Robert Stack edition and “don’t let the door hit you on the way out” Homelanders) know this. But, it’s interesting to see aspects of this issue discussed.
