Repect for Innovation Elsewhere: Melissa tour goals

Melissa Sconyers just posted on CNReviews some thoughts on her China 2.0 Tour goals.  As you know from her Visual CV (that’s how she won the chance to go on the tour), she has experience working in China and close contact with local people, including those in the Chinese media.  She brings a balanced, nuanced view of China that promises to break through the ignorance about China that still persists:

The Chinese people are exceptionally creative, especially when faced with extraordinary circumstances that we, as Americans, don’t have, probably don’t know about, and perhaps can’t even imagine.  However, unfortunately, many people can’t look past reactionary news reports of rampant piracy to accurately observe the real innovation that is happening in technology and business there.  Through my participation on the upcoming China 2.0 tour, I invite you to look beyond.
