The American Mind

Civilization is belonged to all human. Before the western style of business, no one should stand against learning from each other. That is the major factor for human to develop from primitive to modernization today.

After learning from China, Greek etc., the westerners developed many technologies and declared intellectual property. However, that is OK because we know that we can play their games.

Everyone knows that Chinese medication is developed in China for thousands of years. Japan learns from China, no doubt about this. But when American copies any Chinese medical knowledge, they said that this is learnt from Japan.

From "China Inspired Interrogations at Guantánamo", I remember that this is the first time American said they learnt from China.

Yes, this is something not so good. That is why they are honest this time.

Such behavior is really childish. It is not eligible to complain at all.

For several years before, China has spent too much trying to learn from America and almost achieved nothing. Fortunately, China finally has home grown intellectuals and gradually develops lots of new technique and knowledge.

The success is based on the open mind initialized by Deng Xiao Ping.

I just hope that China will not follow the egoism of America. After the earthquake, I feel that China may be too confident and many Chinese are moving towards egoism. With the success of the coming Olympic Game, that is not something to be disregarded.

A great nation needs true respect from others, not self declared.

Will we see Ugly Chinese, adding to the Ugly American in the future? I hope not!

文化是屬於全人類。在源自西方國家的商業化前，沒有人會反對互相學習。這是人類由原始進步至今日現代化的主要原因。

在從中國，希臘等學習後，西方國家發展出不少科技及宣稱要保護知識產權。不過這個問題不大，因為我們也有能力依照他們的遊戲規則。

所有人都知道中醫是由中國在數千年前發展出來。無可懷疑，日本是從中國學習的。但當美國獲取中醫學識時，他們說是從日本得來的。

從【China Inspired Interrogations at Guantánamoa】，我記得這是首次美國稱是由中國學來的事。

是的，這並不是件好事。這正是他們說真話的原因。

這種行為極之幼稚。絕不值得任何批評。

在不少年間，中國花費了不少來向美國學習而差不多一無是處。幸而中國終於有本土培養的知識份子在新科技及學識方面漸漸有進展。

這方面的成功是建基於鄧小平發起的思想開放。

我只希望中國不會跟隨美國的自大。在地震後，我感到不少中國人已有這個趨向。在主辦奧運成功後，這絕不是可以不理的事情。

一個偉大的國家是由其他人的真正尊重而達到，不是由自大產生。

【醜陋的美國人】是否會有【醜陋的中國人】陪伴呢？我希望不會吧！
