» A warning from a travel guide has stayed with me since I started working in Asia 25 years ago. Don't ever get in a fight in Thailand, where kickboxing is the national sport, the author advised, because locals jumping into the fray don't care who's right, they care who's Thai. I've often thought that a white-collar version of that advice would be good for westerners thinking about doing business in mainland China.
