Cultural Claptrap
Article Abstract:
Academicians in Pacific Rim universities are incorrectly explaining the success of Overseas Chinese as a result of their race and cultural history. Some scholars claim that Confucianism and other cultural elements lead to a cooperative, rather than competitive, mentality, which fosters success. Other scholars claim Chinese people succeed because of racial characteristics, such as an affinity for economics, which may be more or less intense among different Chinese individuals.

Chinese rock stars: new generation emerging following political liberalisation
Article Abstract:
A new generation of Chinese rock singers is emerging as a result of sweeping cultural in China following liberalization. Chinese rock legend Cui Jian has been replaced by younger stars including Zhang Chu, who are producing an innovative form of rock n' roll music using a variety of western and native Chinese instruments. This liberal breed of rock singers, who have also developed a distinct style of dressing, are 'artistic migrants' with weak ties with the socialist past.
