Comments on: China as a Teenage Boy: How This Shapes Corporate Training http://www.beijingcorporatetraining.com/2010/01/china-as-a-teenage-boy-how-this-shapes-corporate-training/ perspectives on corporate education in China, brought to you by Yaxley Education Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:21:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Leslie http://www.beijingcorporatetraining.com/2010/01/china-as-a-teenage-boy-how-this-shapes-corporate-training/comment-page-1/#comment-9 Leslie Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:08:34 +0000 http://www.beijingcorporatetraining.com/?p=76#comment-9 Thanks for your comment. I just amended the post to emphasize that a commenter used the word "tool," not you. I agree that there is still poverty in China. Rein's article describes it then moves past it to describe opportunities in China. I actually used to work for a non-profit focused on poverty alleviation in rural areas, and I'm very familiar with China's disparities in wealth. -L Thanks for your comment.

Though a commenter later said that on our blog, saying "ChinaGeeks called him a tool" because one commenter said that isn't really fair. What we said was that his argument is based on things that aren't really true (there's no poverty in China? <em>What?</em>), and that it was poorly written and rife with smug self-promotion. As I said in the post, I don't disagree with everything Rein says, but he conveys a potentially interesting perspective in a fundamentally incompetent way, and supports it with "evidence" that is at best extremely misleading and at worst just lies.
