Henry Gao(@henrysgao):France has bad movies and China has bad policies. What they have in common is that you have to pay out of your own pocket to participate. The difference is that: 1. You can walk out of a bad movie anytime, but not from bad policies; 2. With bad policies, you are the one who bears the real consequences

France has bad movies and China has bad policies. What they have in common is that you have to pay out of your own pocket to participate. The difference is that: 1. You can walk out of a bad movie anytime, but not from bad policies; 2. With bad policies, you are the one who bears the real consequences — unlike with bad movies.
