摘要

In a cafe off Highway 85, overgrown with laptops sucking in the free Wi-Fi access, an engineer— let's call him Ken Martin—sips his large, nonfat latte to cut the edge of his jet lag. He's two days back from a tour through Shenzhen and Shanghai. "China reminds me of what this business was like in the U.S. 20 years ago," said Martin. "People are young, enthusiastic and curious about what will happen next. You don't see that so much here anymore."
