Panel Discussion
Panel Discussion: Asian Values
- Participants
- Preamble '...certain values
such as thrift, hard work and so on are precisely what a developing
country needs. However, I would take one step further to note
that these are positive values in all cultures and are not in
any way uniquely Chinese or Asian. Europe and North America embodied
these values quite prominently too at various times during the
first half of this century. What Asia did was to mobilize these
particular cultural resources while suppressing others such as
the disdain for trade and commerce to aid in her modernizing
efforts.'
- Proceedings: We emphasize that the participants represent
only their personal views and opinions in their individual capacity.
Nothing on this site should be construed as official views of
their respective affiliated institutions unless explicitly stated
as being so.
