Because they're using our country as a piggy bank to rebuild China, and many other countries are doing the same thing.
So often, we leave the selfless side of ourselves for nights and weekends, for our charity work. It is our duty to inject that into our day-to-day business, into the work that we do, to improve corporations, to improve civil society, and to improve government.
