I think it will. I just have my doubts as to 2015, as do you. As for your observations, I think its true. Not just in China, but also in places like Japan. It's a very different work culture. Thanks for sharing this--I think it is very helpful to have some inside perspective for myself and my readers. Junjie,

I have no beef with you that it will overtake China. I think it will. I just have my doubts as to 2015, as do you.

As for your observations, I think its true. Not just in China, but also in places like Japan. It’s a very different work culture. Thanks for sharing this–I think it is very helpful to have some inside perspective for myself and my readers.

If You just have been there as a tourist, it doesn't count. I'm in China right now and I can see one thing. People here are actually working. Back in the West people wonder how to spend their week. It's like: Oh today is Monday, I need to find freetime activities for the next 7 days. Ok, some people come to China and enjoy themselves and work as a teacher. Basically they go on with what they had done in the USA, but if You want to come to China and become a big player, everything You need is here and everything around You is extremely motivating. Go to a bar in the evening and enjoy a beer. You will find more entrepreneurs than at a business meeting in the USA. The only remaining question is, is 2015 the correct date? I have my doubts it will happen so fast, but we will see. Maybe China will surpass the USA, but that’s not really surprising to anyone who has been to Chine for some time.

Sadly, I wouldn't be too surprised if there was such a reaction, but I am hopeful that perhaps the American people know that this was a long time coming anyways. Tom Demerzel,

Nonetheless, perseverance will the day and Japanese firms will become standard place after they go through a number of rough patches (eg: China's oil company trying to own a stake of our oil market).
