it's like a weird fad. every other cover story in the economist is about china. my company's latest internal newsletter was entitled "the year of the tiger" (asian tiger economies ... get it? i'm sure they think they're clever).
maybe i should feel vindicated in some way. the same kids who made fun of me in middle school for having "slanted eyes" are probably pretty surprised their old school now offers mandarin...
everybody wants to "capitalize on the market trend." they go where the money is. no, it doesn't give me a sense of vindication or even bitter retribution.
it just makes me that much more cynical.
