A week ago, Shanghaiist hung out with tech blogger, author and podcaster Robert Scoble of Fast Company and other participants of the China 2.0 Tour, enjoying the amazing view of Shanghai from Vue Bar at Hyatt on the Bund. Since then, he's been on a whirlwind tour around China, visiting places like Suzhou, Wuxi, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and now Hong Kong. In this video, he talks to Thomas Crampton about what he's seen and learnt on this trip and how the China of today differs from the China that he saw twelve years ago on his first visit here.

". . . visiting places like Suzhou, Wuxi, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and now Hong Kong." and now he knows all about China eh?
Thomas Friedman isn't that right and doesn't write that well.
The world is absolutely not flat, not even in the sense Friedman implies.
Mostly regurgitated conclusions from the Asia pages of the WSJ and FT.
Panda licking by a useless old hack who can't write worth a crap. His "whirl wind tour", just like many other old dudes with spare cash, consisted of staying in high end hotels, trips to shopping districts and of course, KTV.
Boring...he sounds like every other westerner with these nonsense conclusions...like" omg China is is now the world leader" don't use that phrase so lightly a "world leader" kiss ass for sure and inconclusive..he sounds like me when i was a student when I was 20 years old in China ( sigh)
