About This Quote
In many ways, the differences between the cultures of the United States and China are similar to those between China and the United States. In both countries, the one percent of the population is honored as being “leadership.” In a recent article on one of our favorite websites, Dr. Robin Li of Baidu called this a “huge difference” in culture. In China, he said, “Leadership is a talent that is passed from generation to generation. We have the same concept as the US: leadership comes from just one person to all generations.”
