I wrote a play every year when I was in school, sometimes two, and I was determined to leave with more than my diploma under my arm. The other thing is to just be nice.

China has three choices: it can remain unplugged from the global system, it can plug in gradually, or it can say, We're the largest developing country in the world and everyone wants to invest here, so we're going to make our own rules.
