Either there are values or there is change. Those who praise the value of change are usually known as pragmatists. You suggest I should change my definition of values in order to incorporate an absence of values, but I will not join you in chasing your tail. Japanese are only learning to value complementarity. This is the country that used to tell us that they could not import foreign rice because Japanese digestive systems were unique.
China is generations from the kind of openness that accepts complementarity.
This is a country that can make European racism look tame. Lest this discussion remain snagged on definitions, let me welcome your partial acceptance of my argument that the challenge for east Asias is whether they can do better at economic growth based on inspiration rather than perspiration. Of course it is necessary for workers in a car plant to think how they can do their job better. Because you have trouble seeing that the essence of growth is inspiration, you also have difficulty in seeing this very exchange of letters as part of a useful democratic process. I fear that you misunderstand both the joys and utility of criticism.
