Li Guangyao's observation of American culture is truly incisive:

"American culture... is to start from scratch, then beat you.
That's why I am full of confidence in the recovery of the American economy.
They fell behind Japan and Germany in manufacturing, but they created the Internet, with Microsoft, Bill Gates, and Dell...
What kind of mindset does it take to achieve this? It is part of their history.
They entered a wild continent and made the most of the land.
They killed the Native Americans, took over the land and the bison.
In the end, that's how it goes: build a town, you be the sheriff, I'll be the judge; you be the police, you're the banker, let's get started.
This culture continues to this day, with people always holding the belief that they can get things done."
