Every year in America there is a Super Bowl, an annual war between the
best two football teams in the country. Net income for Coca Cola is
running a few billion dollars a year ahead of its bitter rival, Pepsi
Cola. Recent news reports say that China has outdone the USA in rankings
for the world's fastest supercomputers; but America bested China in the
gold medals at the last Olympics. Competition is built into the American
way of life. But is it the best way to live? When we perceive the world
as a football game--as a competition to beat others so we can be the
best and biggest--is there a human cost that all of us pay? If the two
largest superpowers in the world have a trade war, does anybody truly
win? China Love You is a book written by two prominent business people,
one from America, and one from China. It tells the story of how both of
them came across the same ancient book from Asia--the Diamond Cutter
Sutra--in their early years, and used its wisdom to build two highly
successful companies, one in New York and one in Beijing. Later, they
met each other working on a business collaboration, and became close
friends. In this book, they help all of us understand the differences
between China and America, and give some revolutionary suggestions about
how the two countries can work together, each helping the other to
become more successful than ever before. What could the world be, if the
two biggest economies made it their goal to make each other successful?
And what will happen if we keep up the grand football game: What will
happen to our children and our planet, if there is a second Cold War,
and it goes bad? China Love You offers some solutions that could make
the difference, for all of us.
