Like seeding the clouds, China has no fear in tampering with its space to achieve certain results. It lacks in the self-concerned identity crisis that is beginning to plague the west regarding mental diseases and medications should be taken to be “normal” again. China wants sunny days, better crops, a dry spring festival, a glorious digital fireworks display, and lets no obstacle get in the way. Its advantage, though based in the family network, decides that the family is the basis of one’s individual governance. There is no being fooled that the individual should strive to succeed, but it allows the machine of the family and its guanxi to achieve what can’t be established by any one person alone. Brothers drinking is more than a party celebrating BMWs and short skirts at the other table. It is an induction into a circle of loyalty that comes with cold consequences if not met with well; it is a bond that bends in every direction, legal or not, to achieve.
Sascha is introducing a box that might seem new to some eyes, but a box that is riddled with complexity and a well tuned machine that actually functions more profoundly than the rhetoric surrounding it. Hence American family values losing grip by being on the stage more than being in the fox hole.

Wish I could pronounce all that we discussed today… in time.

The length of a revolution decides the perpetual growth of its aftermath, and China’s movement still slowly lurks like a python gazing for weeks on end through the thicket of a muddy pond, watching carefully the oxen above gaining confidence in the security of their drinking hole.

well done.
