China Will Grow Larger


Back in my Uni days, it was the norm to patronize cybercafes, mushrooming in every corner of SS15, Subang Jaya.
The name of the game.. well if you were "in" at the time was

Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour

Favourite General: China Tank General
One of the phrases commonly heard mid-battle was "China will grow larger"

My recent business trip to Guangzhou showed none the less.

2 Years ago, I remember a Senior Manager and I in conversation:


A: Do you know why China will never take over the world?

Me: No,why?

A: Because they are copiers. They know nothing more than imitating already existing products.

Me: Oh.




Today, however, the story seems very different.



China, with the world's largest population, in my eyes has evolved into the next generation of Innovators.

An idea for every need; Making existing products BETTER is probably what China represents today.

Of course, the gawdy colours and over-the-top lightings and MIDI music incorporated even into feats of construction still stay true blue to China's proud declaration of MADE IN CHINA and PROUD TO BE CHINESE intuition, but Chinese innovators have taken a great leap forward into defining "The Way of the Future"



Infamously China:



The New China:

The Asian Games Stadium (Guangzhou)

Need I mention the AWESOME food:

Sour Spicy Sweet Potato Noodles and Exploding Meatballs

Malak Hotpot

Indeed; China will grow larger.

To keep up, pay a visit every year and see how increasingly impressed you become.

Til then, China will keep us guessing..
