儒家。關愚謙。德意志

... 受儒家教育的人永遠以慈悲為懷， 瞻前瞻後， 就怕得罪對方，怕影響關係，結果讓人家欺負。美國和歐洲打起貿易仗上是互不相讓的，也並不因此而老死不相往來。

I read yesterday's Hong Kong Economic Journal (信報: Oct 25) and I had some special feeling on this statement in 關愚謙's 德意志 column. I always luv to read his essays. This statement really punches my heart that some Chinese people do think like the way he mentioned.

The essay I extracted from is about the acquisition of Siemens's mobile business by BenQ and was later wound up because of various reasons and many German believe that its BenQ's problem. BenQ is a Taiwan brand and it wants to step into the mobile phone market by acquiring Siemens's money-losing business. However, because of different cultural backgrounds and the lack of understanding in the western business models and culture BenQ was not succeeded in operating this mobile phone section. Mr Kwan tried to pursuade Chinese investors about the dangers and concerns about stepping into the western markets.

Maybe its because in China we do not have rule of law. We only have rule by law, and rule by the people. haha. Chinese seldom understand the necessity of processes, laws and the binding rules. Everything's just derive from their desire......
