Has always been, and will never change. <br /><br />I have written it countless time: to understand a country, or people, understand their history. Not just cultures. IF you go back to the history of China, they built on money. To the Chinese, even more so than the American, money is power. <br /><br />I once had a discussion with someone who lives in Shanghai/China for more than 10 years and married to a Chinese: I wrote: Present day Shanghai is no different than the Shanghai of the 20s, 30s, before, after and in between the last two WW - cater to the fortune- hunting-foreigners and the corrupt= wealth-Chinese.
