My two classes had a good mix of people from HK and mainland China:
All in all, the courses at city u were a good learning experience. The interraction with students and the mindset of the professors and guest speakers were very insightful. Here are some examples:
- One guest speaker made it very clear that 'us westerners' (looking directly at all the exchange students) have no idea what customer relationship management really is, and he poked fun at how much value the western world places on contracts. In his speach he held up a pretend contract in the air and waved it around to show how much it disgusted him.
- The CEO of the South China Morning Post denied that media censorship was even an issue.
- Another guest speaker talked for 30 mins about how president Hu Jintao 'plans' all his official visits up to the last detail-up to what he wears like this fact is some sort of revelation. However this was the only speaker that openly stated that all media is 'an act'.
