The Huge change towards China. 应付中国的重大改变

If one can remember, when China started to open up some years ago, there were a lot of tactics headed by USA as well as echoed by somewhere including Hong Kong had prepared various hurdles aiming to block China’s rising up. These included the ISO, WTO and intellectual copyright.

Now, you cannot find any saying about ISO. That is because many if not all exporting manufacturers in China know how to apply for. The belittling done by foreigners is understood because they still dreamed about the lasting periods of the Qing Dynasty. We must be astonished that people in Hong Kong who migrated from mainland China would think in similar way.

The WTO was taken as something that far from China because of the difference in principles. Spending much effort and years, the joining of WTO has been successful but with no benefits at all. Therefore, there is no more talking about WTO now.

It is only a bit more than twenty years; China finally starts to claim the copyright for some creative designs\ and want to collect instead of paying for the copyright. Of course, with the largest market in the world, it is easy to win over others.

In other words, China has now achieved the basics of developed nations. Yet, China is still claiming the status of developing country today and possibly in the future for many more years. Certainly, this way can comfort all foreigners as well as those in Hong Kong.

So, being belittled is not a bad thing providing you know how to manage your problem.
The only thing that I would worry is that some newly rich Chinese may not aware of this.

如果仍有记忆的话，多年前当中国最初开放时，由美国引领及世界上不少追随者包括香港预备了不少障碍目标在于防止中国的兴起。这些包括国际标准ISO，世贸WTO及知识产权。

现在已不见这方面的新闻。因为差不多所有中国出口的制造厂都懂得;怎样去;申请了。外国人这样的轻视是很易明白因为他们仍有清末时代的概念。最令我们惊讶的是源自大陆的香港人也有这样的想法。

世贸昌曾经是中国因原则上的差异成为远不可及的事件。花了多年及极大的努力，终于入了世贸但是并没有实际的收益。所以现在已听不到有世贸的言论了。

大约廿年间， 中国已开始争取一些设计的版权，由支付版权费改为向人收取了。 当然，在拥有世界上最大的市场，比其它人优胜是极容易的事。

换句话说，中国已掌握了发展国家的基本认识。但中国在今日以至多年后的将来仍然自认是发展中国家。这样是令外国人甚至香港人感到安慰的。

所以只要明白如何处理自己的问题时，被人轻视绝对不是坏事。令我担心的是有些中国的新发彩并不明白这点意义。
