. I wish I could have had dinner with this man and listened to his perspective
on life in China since he had direct experience there before and during the Chinese take over from the communist party… I wonder what his perspective would be on China's evolution to its modern self, both politically and economically. Was he surprised? Is that what he expected? What would he think would happen in the future? All questions I would ask, and more.
