James Fallows (November 27, 2007) - "The" way vs "a" way (Japan v China dept): "Japan is all about the way of doing things. Practice, ritual, perfectionism, as much fanatical attention to the process as to the result. China is all about finding a way to do things. Improvisation, little interest in rules, putting up with whatever is necessary to attain the result."
