Who runs the courts, educates the children, buys the iPods? Not westerners... As a matter of fact, kids/people here are often worse when it comes to consumerism than in the West. Perhaps, the Chinese are the ones poorly influencing the West? Many kids in the West need jobs and have to look after themselves. In HK many kids have a maid to wipe their ass and their nose and most men would have trouble finding the right end of a mop. Is that part of the virtues of Chinese education?
You also do realize that the Chinese have often been referred to as the Jews of Asia because of their attachment and ability to make money.
Asians and Chinese in particular are also famous for their enjoyment of gambling. You blame that on westerners too or is that part of the chinese education?
