141. I use to half-joke around the purpose of universities, telling that those are just good to perfect what we are doing wrong.
The impending Obama-Hu meeting incites me to apply same reasoning to the Chinese "leading role" in the world. Communist China is becoming truly good in perfecting how bad things were being accomplished by Capitalist occident since she has learnt its well known secrets and has added to it something most communist countries mastered: planning.
However, what the World urgently needs nowadays is not to improve the "art" of increasing the amount of money but to change detrimental paradigms with help at first of creativity and innovation, something neither Asia nor Europe are good at.
