I haven’t forgotten the brutality of the Japs from now that long ago. They were quite rude in their behavior.

Nothing to sit on, and not much in the Scarlett Johanssen department either. Real women have curves, and don’t speak GD awful Mandarin.

Independent consultant, acoustical engineering. Predominantly consumer electronics loudspeaker design, so I work with a lot of the factories from Suzhou to Ningbo.

I like the cleaner air of Seattle, but given that a lot of the bigger cities in East China are about as clean as LA, it’s not as bad as so many make it out to be.

China’s working hard to jump from a predominantly agricultural society to a modern, 21st century manufacturing/information society, and do it in 2 generations (we took 7 to do it). That leads to a lot of disruption, but they’re managing it...

I’ve lived in Europe, South America (Chile), the US (multiple places), and overall China’s no Seattle or Munich, but it’s better than Brussels, Santiago, or LA.

I’m sincerely happy to hear that they are doing well. I hope their politics catch up.
