Why don't we save and invest in our future and start making the things that millions of Chinese consumers are going to want in the future.
The Self of everyone, the Atma of everyone, the transcendental field of reality of everyone, is the same in everyone. Whether the body calls itself an American, German, Indian or Chinese, it doesn't matter.
You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don't talk to you. There's very little interaction.
You may baptize as long as you want, but the Jew remains a Jew, the Chinese a Chinese and the Negro a Negro.
