Our society has evolved with the mindset to create things that will benefit us in some shape or form. Those creations have been primarily focused on changing or fixing almost everything revolved around humans. But why not simply focus on changing the core component of the system, us? So why construct things to help humans while we could be making humans better off from the start? Shouldn’t we be focusing on improving humans so we wouldn’t have to be making these accommodations? And, if so, how would we be able to accomplish such a task?

One of the biggest challenges facing European companies in China is the perpetuation of China’s ‘economic caste system’, which distinguishes companies by ownership, and favours state-owned over private and local over foreign. This biased economic structure pits finance-starved private companies against the unnaturally enhanced, inefficient SOEs that are at the core of China’s structural problems. The continuation of this system is doing little to inspire the European business communities’ long-term confidence in China’s economy.
