Lew, you're right about Chinese and Apple being smeared, as is Foxconn, the great company built up by Taiwanese entrepreneur Terry Kuo, who is an amazing person and revered over there much like Gates is here. I thought this line from one of Foxconn's senior VP's:
It's hard to understand for many westerners but it's true that many of our workers are willing to work overtime to make more money. We don't force them to work overtime and won't allow them to work overtime for more than 20 hours a week.
This is true, and the quote is also funny in how diplomatic this guy is trying to be. What he's saying is, "You Americans are lazy but we still know how to work hard; how dare you condemn and criticize us for doing what you no longer can?"
