Tony Kosky, Past President of the Melbourne, Australia Rotary Club, and long term B-CC visitor, spoke about the changing China.  Tony has worked in the fur trade for many years, doing business with the Chinese. He currently works for Gartenhaus Furs in Bethesda. Despite the disastrous domestic policies, the Chinese deeply revere their former leader Mao Zedong because he turned a country of peasants into one where everyone has food, clothing, housing, and a menial job.  Tony explained that business contracts are difficult to procure, but once terms are settled, they almost never change. When negotiating, despite China's move toward capitalism, the ability to recite and interpret quotes from Mao continues to serve a foreigner well. Chinese women appear to have little resistance climbing the corporate latter, and are the fiercest negotiators in the country.
