What did you learn from this murder mystery?

What may have been unacceptable just 5 years ago now seems in vogue. But the question is: Is this a localized abboration or a national change in what is acceptable under the culture of the new China?

UNREACHABLE AND UNTEACHABLE STUDENTS

Every Chinese college and university has them, from top tier down to the bottom 4th tier.Usually every class has at least one and the unlucky teacher may be saddled with several. Occasionally, an entire class may be beyond reach.

No matter what the pedagogy, the methodology, the materials; there are some students who have decided that higher education is only an endurance requirement.  In America there is an educational philosophy that no child shall be left behind. China has a slightly different bent – no college student shall fail to receive a diploma so long as the tuition has been paid.

Nationally, 5% of Chinese university students are unreachable and unteachable. At Zongshan University 1.6%  of the post-graduate non-English majors are unreachable and unteachable.

Chinese students know full well that they will not be failed even if they never attend classes. They are allowed to retake a final exam, with a different teacher each time, until a teacher is found who will pass them. Failing grades issued by foreign teachers are administratively changes rather regularly. The Chinese educational system deprives the teacher of a major external motivational tool and the students take advantage of this situation.

These students are not too hard to identify. They sit in the back row and try to blend into the back wall. Some sit up front, arms crossed with a scowl on their face that says a D-8 bulldozer isn’t going to move them.

Some give themselves away by telling the foreign teacher “you do not understand China” or “you do not understand Chinese students” or “you do not teach like a Chinese teacher.”

Others will declare their open contempt for English due to some misguided nationalistic pride. Some will state that they do not need English now or in the future. A Shanghai University student declared that his father was a very high Shanghai Government party official and that his father would always take care of his future, both politically and financially. This boy was well connected and his future was assured. Within months his father was caught up in the political purge and power shift that saw all of Shanghai’s political leaders replaced. His father was imprisoned and made to forfeit all of his money and property.  The boy was weeks away from graduation and would receive a useless degree.

A young man in Guangzhou insisted that he would never need English because his father was Chairman of the Board and majority Shareholder of a major Chinese company. This boy wasted his educational opportunity in reliance on his father’s position and wealth. Within two months of the boy’s graduation his father was imprisoned for economic crimes and sentenced to death and forfeiture of all money and property.

It is sad indeed to watch any misguided student pursue a path of self-destruction. But no matter what you say or do, they are determined to serve their time at university without earning an education because they know an education (Diploma) will be handed to them as long as their tuition is paid. Educated idiots!

It’s True, Asians Can’t Think, by Sin-ming Shaw,.May, 31, 1999  Time magazine article

It’s True, Asians Can’t Think, by Sin-ming Shaw,.May, 31, 1999  Time magazine article

Until it abandons its twisted Confucianism, the region will trail the West.

Quoted:

Can Asians think?  That is not a racist slur.  It’s the title of a book by Singapore diplomat Kishore Mabbubani.  While he offers no answer, the question is excellent and long overdue.

The facts are not to dispute 1,000 years ago China under the Song Dynasty was the world’s most advanced nation.  Even 300 years ago, China under the Qing rulers was first among equals.  Yet in the past 100 years, the West’s superiority over Asia has widened exponentially over any advantage the East ever enjoyed.  No civilization with such a commanding lead, not even classical Greece, has declined more dramatically than China.  The issue is not about economic growth or engineering dexterity.  Asia’s record in those areas is indisputable.  It’s about originality of the mind and its resulting intelligence over how mankind shapes the world.

China may have mastered cutting-edge nuclear technology, by stealth or otherwise, and Japan may have the best engineered semiconductors.  But these developments are ultimately based on Newtonian physics and quantum mechanics, both purely Western paradigms. China justifies its political system by invoking Marx while trying to restructure its economy using the theories of Keynes and Friedman, even employing Goldman Sachs for financial advice.  Taiwan is a democracy more informed by classical Greek philosophers than by Chinese and Japanese leaders wear Western formal dress with tails for signing ceremonies.  And everybody loves an Ivy League degree.

Asia must not merely reflect on why Western thoughts shape the world we know, it must also ask why do many Asian minds flourish only after they have gone to the West.  For evidence, just look at the many Nobel Prizes won by Asians living and working in America.  Time and again, talented émigrés say they had to leave Asia because the intellectual atmosphere was stifling or because the established hierarchy respected seniority over brains.

Blaming Asian schools for focusing on memorization- as opposed to “thinking”- is too pat an excuse, as schools and universities reflect the basic values of a society.  It is ingrained in the Asian psyche that “correct” answers always exist and are to be founding books or from authorities.  Te4achers dispense truth, parents are always right and political leaders know what is best.  In executive led societies, such as China and Hong Kong, leaders act like philosopher Kings, often offering unchallenged banalities.  Senior officials sometimes resemble the powerful palace eunuchs of past dynasties: imperial, unaccountable, incompetent.  Questioning authority, especially in public, is disrespectful, un-Asian, and un-Confucian.

-2-

It is time to deconstruct Confucius.  He said many things.  Some emphasized order above all, on filial piety, never disobeys.  Others were democratic: without the trust of the people, no government can stand.  Past emperors manipulated his work to justify a static order while they themselves rarely abided by the same rules.  Japan became Asia’s most advanced nation largely because it dared to change its own values during the Meiji Restoration in 1868 (although it now needs a similar impetus to regain its creative energy.)

The conventional wisdom that Asians cherish learning is misleading.  IN the past, learning meant passing imperial exams that led to well paid jobs in the civil service.  It’s not altogether different in modern Asia.  Learning for its own sake is considered a luxury, if not a financial waste, unless it also leads to an attractive income stream.

The twisted Confucian philosophy passed on by generations has played a damnable role in denting Asian creative thinking.  U.S. trained physicist Woo Chia-wei, president of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology believes the Confucian stress on order is a major obstacle on creative thinking that has sometimes affected even his own instincts.  All important advances to knowledge involve substantial revision or rejection of an existing framework.  Scientists call that a paradigm shift.  Order for the sake of order is the opposite of creative thinking.

Which Asian society, informed by home grown precepts, is most likely to nurture and keep at home a future generation able to write better software than Microsoft find a cure for cancer and to replace quantum mechanics with a theory of everything, now the Holy Grail of physics?  The odds are not good, but the best bet is Taiwan.  Alone among Asian societies it possesses the right combination of intuitions that allow talent to blossom.  Institutionalized disputes and respect for opposing viewpoints, publicly aired are not just about political democracy, they are fundamental to creative thinking.  They set as a filter so that a rare gem may be found among the intellectual garbage.  It takes only a few powerful ideas to change the world.

If Japan, China and the rest of Asia—perhaps even India—even manage to cast aside mind-numbing communist, Confucian and caste values, then the region’s talents could one day dominate the Nobel Prize lists, enriching the world through intellectual property, not property development.  And they will be doing their creative thinking right here in Asia.  Eventually, someone might even ask, “Can Westerners think?”

Can Asians think? They’ve started to

By Andrew Sheng (China Daily)
Updated: 2010-04-28 07:49

Editor’s note: Asia has been preparing to take an ideological lead in post-crisis economy instead of following the guide from the West.

My Singaporean friend, Prof Kishore Mahbubani, wrote a provoking essay in 1998, Can Asians think? I found the title rather offensive – of course we can think. But what he really meant was, “Can Asians think out of the Western intellectual box?” Most of us trained in or by the West used to think that the ideals of best practice were the wonderful theories, technologies and institutions that the West has brought to Asia.

But the global economic crisis has shocked us to the core. That the best of the West such as the iconic Wall Street firm of Goldman Sachs has been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission of fraud is appalling for those who look up to them for standards of professionalism, innovation, intellectual brilliance and moral integrity. If this is what our teachers are we have to think for ourselves.

There are signs now that Asians are beginning to do so. In a new book, Nowhere to Hide: The Great Financial Crisis and Challenges for Asia, published by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, authors Michael Lim Mah-Hui and Lim Chin argue that the global financial crisis should be examined from three different levels: Theory and ideology, financial industry practices, and structural imbalances in the international economy. (Michael Lim used to teach political science in the University of Malaya before becoming a banker and joining the Asian Development Bank. Lim Chin is a professor of economics at Singapore’s NUS Business School.)

Written from a multi-disciplinary point of view, the book examines the crisis from the angle of not only how the “efficient market hypothesis” took hold of Wall Street, but also how it transformed its business practices and flourished on the penchant for consumption and debt arising from the United States balance of payments deficits.

Just as Asians suffered from hubris during the years of the “Asian miracle”, so did the gods of Western economics and finance before the global economic crisis. In his address to the American Economic Association in 2003, Economics Nobel Laureate Robert Lucas proclaimed that “the central problem of depression-prevention has been solved for all practical purposes”.

In 2004, US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke lauded for “rescuing” the financial markets with “whatever it takes”, said in his famous speech on the “Great Moderation” (years of low volatility growth and low inflation) that “improved monetary policy made an important contribution not only to the reduced volatility of inflation but (also) to the reduced volatility of output as well.”

Central bankers, patting themselves on the back, made no mention of the role of inexpensive goods and services provided by Asia in keeping inflation low. On the contrary, in his equally famous speech in 2005, Bernanke argued that the “significant increase in the global supply of saving – a global saving glut – helps to explain both the increase in the US current account deficit and the relatively low level of long-term real interest rates in the world today.”

I am puzzled by the logic of this argument, because this is like a banker blaming his problems on his depositors because they save too much. The question is where did their high savings come from? The answer: The depositors earned their income from the high-spending banker. And why do the bankers spend so much? Because the long-term real interest rates are too low!

If Western intellectual thought and policy formulation appears to be incomplete or flawed, what are the challenges for Asia? Lim and Lim ask the right questions in their book, but do not answer them fully. You can actually find several answers in the foreword to the book by Venu Reddy, former governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Reddy was vilified by investment bankers for not being willing to open up India’s financial system fast enough when he was RBI governor. But after the crisis, it was clear that his steadfast and prudent approach shielded India from the worst shocks of the financial shenanigans and large capital flows.

Reddy has argued that post-crisis growth in Asia will remain strong. And along with the growing workforce, education and upgrading of skills would be major challenges. Asia can become a global financial hub because of its large pool of capital human skills, he has said, but a major challenge will be the question of leadership in thought and innovation.

Providing the environment for that leadership will require good governance. Reddy foresees growing intra-regional cooperation but warns that major shifts in world economic power take place over long periods and may not be smooth. Wise words indeed.

If Asia is to take its rightful place – equal to the West – in the world there has to be more original Asian thinking, not about parochial Asian values but about values and practices that apply universally. The book by Lim and Lim shed light in that direction.

The author is adjunct professor at Tsinghua University, Beijing, and the University of Malaya, Malaysia.

STUDENTS’ LACK OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AWARENESS

Martin Wolff

Sun Yat-sen University

INTRODUCTION

Intellectual Property Protection remains a hot topic in China. The west applies constant pressure on China for more enforcement and China responds with increased enrollment in law schools, retention of more prosecutors and an annual increase of prosecutions and convictions. Yet, IP violations remain on the increase. We first addressed this issue back in 2006, Best IP Protection is Through Education, Not More Enforcement Actions, TESOL Law Journal: January 2006 Vol 1. We now explore the extent of IP knowledge with 700 post-graduate students at one of China’s top ten universities, Sun Yat-sen, Guangzhou.

CONTENT BASED HOLISTIC ENGLISH

In the Fall 2009 term, 350 post-graduate students in the Holistic English Program were assigned the movie “Working Girl.” This movie is a soft introduction to the personal importance of Intellectual Property Protection. (All of the students are science majors. in an oral English as a Foreign Language course.)

Before the classroom discussion of the movie, the students were assigned to read many articles that gave a broad overview of copyright, patent, trademark, personal endorsements and corporate secrets. They also read a synopsis of the Yao Ming vs. Coca Cola case filed in the Shanghai Court and Best IP Protection is Through Education, Not More Enforcement Actions, TESOL Law Journal: January 2006 Vol 1.

The students were given three separate questions for discussion:

1. How could Tess have better protected her idea from theft by her boss?

The students tended to over think this issue and came up with very convoluted and complex answers.

The simplest answer is sometimes the best. Tess should have made a copy of her notes before handing them over to her boss and Tess should have had her boss sign a receipt for the notes. Utilizing today’s technology, Tess could have sent her notes as an email attachment.

2. Why is it important to protect intellectual property?

A super majority of the students stated that creativity must be rewarded to encourage more creativity because new inventions and things will advance society and create a better off harmonious society. It was also considered a matter of protecting personal wealth.

3. What is the difference between stealing a DVD from a department store and stealing a song or movie by free download from the internet?

There were three prevalent views.

First, stealing from the department store is dangerous because someone may see you and you could go to jail. The internet is anonymous and you can’t get caught. This answer raised numerous additional questions for discussion:

1. Are these students computer illiterate? Don’t they understand IP addresses and footprints? Have they not read the news from the USA about people being put in jail and fined more than $1 mil for illegally downloading music and movies for free? Don’t they know that their Government has more than 30,000 internet police tracking their every move on the internet?

2. What about morality? Stealing is ok so long as you believe you can’t get caught? Speeding is ok so long as there are no police around? And what about murder?

Second, if a song or movie is available on the internet it is not stealing to download a free copy. Everything on the internet is for everyone and if it was stealing the Government would close the web site. This harkens back to the socialist mentality that the Government owns everything on behalf of the people.

These post-graduate students were truly surprised to learn that their ideas were completely inconsistent with reality and the rule of law in China.

Third, many students expressed the opinion that China needs western computer software, songs and films for its further development but the western prices are too high for originals. .Piracy was justified as a just punishment for the western companies not pricing their products so they are affordable in a developing country

The students were then required to formulate a plan to solve the IP Protection dilemma in China and post their plan on www.chinaholisticenglish.com,

I always think that IP protect is far from me. But through the WORKING GIRL and the class, I am now aware that it is very important for all of us. We should protect our IP and also should protect other’s. In China we do not take it very seriously. As the example was taken by Martine Wolff, we do not steal the VCD or DVD in the shop, but we download the movie from the Internet freely. This may be a big question. There are two ways in front of us: One is free, the other is that we should pay money for the same thing. Of course, we choose the first one. It would be a long way for China to go to make everyone notice the importance of the IP protect. Everybody should enroll with the help of the government

Honestly speaking, most of us download songs, movies and articles on the Internet for free. Before the discussion of IP protection, we have never realized that this behavior is illegal. That is to say, many of us are lacking of concept and knowledge of IP and IP protection. We ourselves should pay enough attention to this situation because IP and IP protection is closely related to our future work and life. Firstly, we should culture our awareness of IP that we should know the things belonged to IP. Secondly, we should know well the laws about IP and IP protection in China. Last but not least, we should obey the laws and should respect others’ labor. Only in this way, the so-called laws about IP and IP protection can be considered as meaningful.

In our growing, we all have been told that taking others’ things without permission is a kind of stealing behavior .But we only have the traditional concept of stealing in our mind. Few of us have the IP Concept in China. Therefore, it is a very urgent task to improve IP Concept of the Chinese people. And my suggestions are as follows.

Firstly, and also the most important one, just as our Pro. Wolff mentioned, the best IP protection is through education. Only by this way, can we abandon the traditional thoughts of stealing behavior and can we improve IP Concept of the Chinese people.

And also, we must put more enforcement actions into practice and make the low work more efficiently. Of course, the premise is that the Chinese government must establish a series of laws base on China’s actual conditions in every field.

Indeed, IP protection develops rapidly in China, but it also does not develop well enough. To solve the problem of IP protection, we have still a long way to go!

To be honest, I do not want to touch on this topic. As a student who does not have some outcomes need to protect, I prefer the convenience brought by piracy and illegal downloading. In China, intellectual property rights infringement, like a double-edged sword, bring us cultural and economic development, but more drawbacks and adverse impacts following. We have clearly seen that intellectual property infringement amounts to the action killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. On one hand, it brings great harm to the original master, lower their enthusiasm of creation, and lead them to be disappointed and distrust of us. In the long run, they are no longer willing to share with us and display the new results to us. On the other hand, though it has brought the imitator temporary benefits, copying the original outcomes results in our psychological reliance, and we become more and lazier to think and innovate. Of course, China should solve these problems, but it is really a long and intricate process. To change the situation fundamentally, we need to further educate and economic development. Take pirated books as an example. When the pirated books are much cheaper than the original, we always prefer to buy the pirate which may be of poor paper quality, because we can enjoy the same content paying much less money. So, for the publishers, why not throw off the excessive gorgeous packaging and reducing the price differences between the original and the pirate. For the government, establishing and improving the framework of laws and rules on copyright piracy are still real challenges, but why not try to set up more awards to reward innovations. For the public, we still need to get more knowledge of intellectual property rights, and show our respects to the person who do the creative work.

I think the key to the IP protection lies in the education. Most of Chinese people don’t realize that it is illegal to use other’s intangible goods without paying. They think the resources are for free. China has promulgated some laws about IP protection, but many people don’t notice the laws, so it is necessary to propagate the laws effectively, using some mediums, such as TV, broadcast, newspaper and so on, punishment is not the correct way.
Maybe they should educate the students about the laws of IP protection when they are very young, because the children will be the next leaders of China, and the conception of IP protection is very important, if they are not aware of the IP protection, how will they release the laws of it? And how will the citizens develop the consciousness of it? That will be a very serious problem.

Frankly, the Intellectual Property Protection in China has not been good. In my opinion, the following ways can be tried to resolve this problem. 1. Draw a clear-cut line between reward and punishment. Based on existing law, we should improve relevant provisions and regulations. Governments at all levels should set an example by their own action. We must ensure that the laws are strictly observed and enforced. Publishing houses and copy shops must be given strict supervision. Law-breakers must be punished strictly. While the advanced law-abiding individuals can be given certain incentives to set leading role for the rest. 2. Governments and medias should do more publicity. Television, Internet, newspapers, billboards can be made full use to give citizens information as much as possible to understand the importance of intellectual property protection. 3. While the most important thing we should do is to strength education. Education about intellectual property protection should be strengthened in schools at all levels, especially in universities where this phenomenon is quite serious. It is important that teachers should set examples.
4. Another key point is to develop the economy, which is the basis for intellectual property protection. If our income is high enough, we have naturally foundation to buy the legal ones. However, now it is more realistic for the majority of Chinese people to buy the piracy according to our income level. This problem can not be resolved within a short time, and we can only pin our hope on our long-term joint efforts.

I don’t think Intellectual Property is a good idea.Only Intellectual Share could make the whole human improve,however,it is a long way to realize this idea say nothing to practise.Throw away this unearthly idea,in the real-life,the competition exists between the countries,the companies,and the individuals,so there must be IP appearance.But I am still in a puzzle about IP.Both people read the book in the bookstore without a pay and people copy the book in the library is a theft,then all the previous theories that we learn should pay.And who are not able to pay should not get intellect ,and how could the whole human improve?

It is a so common phenomenon in China. When I go to buy books and videos, I absolutely have no sense to differ the pirates from the genuine. Actually, I have no idea about which is genuine and which is piratical since most books and videos are piratical in the book shops. The pirates are cheap while the genuine are expensive. The price of the genuine may be triple or fourfold of the pirates, and even more. We are surrounding in the environment of pirates. So we can get what we want cheaply and simply. I feel deeply ashamed of this. Yes, it is time to change. We should protect IPR from action not just talking.

We all know that many Chinese people have little sense about Intellectual Property (IP) protection, especially twenty years ago. And china have lost a lot benefit for that. We should strength our minds of the IP. But I cann’t agree with that one reading books in bookstore for free is a thief.I think that we can’t be able to by all the book we want to read,for it is too expensive.And it is not need too.For many books,we read for once is ok.This action even should be encouraged,and this can made people learn more knowledge from books.

We all know that in China our law is not perfect like western countries. Many human right can not get protection from the law. In the Three Deer’ contaminated milk powder event the victims can not get protection from the law. Our government is more powerful than the law sometimes. But we also see the trend that our law is more and more perfect. Now many young people know that it is illegal to use pirate because the law protects Intellectual Property. But many older people do not realize the importance of Intellectual Property Protection. This is because of their education.
I want to say the problem about reading books in a bookstore. In the article you think reading books in the bookstores without compensation also constitutes a theft. In fact in china no bookstore can or willing to do this. They are welcome people to read books in their bookstore. It is good for their business. This is just like a food store permit you to take a piece to have a try. Of cause it is absolutely for free. If you do not know the content in the books why should you buy them. If you do not know the taste of the food why you want buy it. I can say a joke. A man passed a food store. The owner of the food store stopped him suddenly. The owner said he should pay some money because he just smelled the food’s smell. The man was embarrassed. In that time a wisdom man stood out said I would pay for him. He just put out his money bag and make some sound to prove there were so many gold coins in the bag. The owner was very happy. When the owner put his hand to the wisdom man, he just said “I had paid for it. Because you heard the sound of my coins. You should pay for it. The price is the same as that man should pay.” I want to know whether in the U.S.A. we should pay for the smell of the food. Or else I need take a lot of coins in my wallet.

CONCLUSION

It is futile for the west to continue applying pressure for more IP prosecutions and for China to accede to this pressure. When 350 out of 350 post graduate students at one of China’s top ten universities lack the most basic appreciation of IP; it is time to redirect resources into a comprehensive educational process.
