W5-The World Is Flat?!
Whenever mention India, I always think about a book—one writing sign at millennium, which is written by Qiuyu Yu. Yu sobs that it was dirty, messy, poor, and lag behind. As I saw this book to describe the Indian class and the surprising development of this city Bangalore, which is in the southeast of India, only with exclaiming, hurry surfing the Net to find out maps and look over, want to know this city that is different from in the impression is there stunned. It is so distinct that thing that the changing takes place in the surrounding area, so it let me want to understand how the world is changing how the world is flatten.
Seven years ago, when I was a high school student, I had a bad vocation with my family in China….Muck, backwardness but a huge crowds people anywhere are the first impression of China for me. In the past few years, I heard about the accelerating development of China a lot, but I didn’t want to go to China again at all. Nowadays, I cannot but face the new situation that China has been becoming a huge dragon in Asia marketplace-almost nothing is not “made in China”!! China has become the biggest Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM); within ten years, it may grow into Original Design Manufacturer (ODM). “On December 11, 2001, China formally joined the World Trade Organization, which meant Beijing agreed to follow the same global rules governing imports, exports, and foreign investments that most countries in the world were following. It meant China was agreeing, in principle, to make its own competitive playing field as level as the rest of the world.” Indeed, China became a big potato after it opened its market, most western countries are eager to bit this big cake. I think the problems of China are “system”, “custom” and “politics”, but China cannot fix these problems by themselves, thus, it is the best way to join WTO and follow the same global rules.
Many Taiwanese manufacturers have moved their factories to Southeast Asian, China; Excellent Indian software engineers vied for work with American engineers to work in Silicon Valley; the rousing of South Korea, their national income has already exceeded Taiwan. It is the main trend that information science and technology and the globalization of network constructing, global merger and competition are inevitable.
The author explain completely the remote cause and the immediate cause about how the world becomes flat, and the story of practice operation, and a series of penetrating analysis. Although Friedman offers a piece of advice and a lot of meaningful views to his country, enterprise and individual, it is still very proper and practical as for Taiwan, and it’s worth for us to think deeply about how many chances we have in this flat world under the state of the constant loss of advantage.
Enlightenment that is got from the book ---No matter state leader, enterprise, individual who have to be honest in the face of oneself, look over one's own weakness and mistake, adjust oneself constantly in order to base oneself on this flat world.

Stephanie said something similar to what you have said here about Taiwan in the flat world. Even if the world is becoming 'flat', it still leaves the bigger players with a stronger advantage over the smaller ones.
