"I will tell you that yeah, the Chinese can take a test, but what they can't do is innovate. They are not terribly imaginative."

I agree. I'm an engineer. I have worked with quite a few Chinese engineers. On the whole: really, really bad. They simply can't think out of the box.

at this point in time, what is required of them is something in the box to reverse engineer

Correct, they usually do not stray from the book.

Hmm, when you say that, do you mean that when you get them fresh out of the warehouse, they can't but with time they can?

I don't have much experience with chinese who grew up in China, but my a solid majority of Korean males at my college cheated on every test.

From the article: I'm sure Carly Fiorina does not believe the Chinese to be inherently unimaginative people, but simply the products of a communist or quasi-communist system which simply does not properly incentivize ingenuity and creativity.

I suspect it actually has to do with their language; it encourages rote memorization of lots of letters*. I have a coworker that was likely raised in the USSR (based on his age and accent) who is (by word of mouth) quite brilliant, so I doubt it is a product of communism alone.

*I am uncertain what the figures that Chinese is written are called; I have been told it is not an alphabet, but this seems to be a technical point with little consequence for day-to-day life.

Carly is “catching-on” in the early going here. She’s the only Pubbie, so far, who has balls to go after Hillary. If she gave Jeb one of her balls, they’d both have one. Is she Pro-Life? If so, I can live with her being on the Ticket. (I know I can do a Google Search, but, I’m too lazy to do that today.)

Something like that. Also, rarely good team players.

Unfortunately, while I agree with Carly’s comments like those from her will alienate Chinese-Americans.

She’ll need to be more careful how she says things. I enjoy people who are direct and blunt, but in politics so many quips can be turned against you...
