    Deiter,

    I would love to come to some future events and have been to previous ones.  Doing business in China has become extremely cut throat and not remotely enjoyable when even expats copy other expats.  The idea of copying is not only in China of course, but certainly emphasized here.  These issues should be discussed to promote creativity and respect others businesses.  When even staff (not business owners) get in on it, it becomes unfairly competitive.  This is a problem and creates an awful business environment.

    If each business focused on what they offered and excelled at things could be more pleasant. Maybe this would be embarrassing to acknowledge, but quite helpful.

    Regards,

    Francis

    Stimulating.  Shocking.

    Commercialization of Christmas in capitalist, atheist China….seems pretty cut and dry if you ask me.  The world over cashes in, not sure what there would be to discuss.  At least the “party” doesn’t fear old St. Nick.

    How about a panel on copying each others business ideas and lack of creativity?

    Oh…and you can throw in writing fake reviews too.  That might be actually worth acknowledging and discussing.

    Merry Christmas.

    Millions fleeing to the US.  Thousands seems like a low number to even report on.
