Maya Frost: China as "the land of opportunity"

Maya Frost, author of The New Global Student, blogged of her first impressions of China last August as “new opportunities, quick momentum, kindness and greenery”. Of the “new opportunities,” she wrote (here):

This is the land of opportunity. What I have noticed is the willingness to accept and embrace new ideas.  I happen to work for a company that is in growth mode (like most of China) and open to suggestions, but in general, it feels like this is a place that welcomes innovation.  I had an idea for a project, and boom–marketing team is on it, and it’s scheduled to launch in October with full support from the company. There was no reluctance or endless process of evaluating the idea–instead, it was embraced with great enthusiasm and trust.  I have never been treated with more respect, listened to more intently or encouraged more wholeheartedly.
