I've been so "shocked" when I found that American poeple, students and professors included, are not as frank and straight forward as Hollywood movie played. In terms of ancestry, American people are from the world. Meanwhile, this country has been talking about the world --being active like a world policeman, propagate democracy worldwidely, and claims itself open to the world. However, the reality is that nobody wants to be too big. People are so centralized. So, the claim and propaganda through its cultural intrusion worldwide, USA actually performs a strategic culture -- be a leader in the world has to talk about the world even though the government does not act as a world ememplar. At least, it does not turn in the UN fee automatically.
Now, let's turn to UC. This is such an ideal technological way of production. However, so many different technology and profitable resources are involved. It is the politcal game. Who want to sacrifice? Who want to be unified? These are all questions unsolved in this game. More than 2000 years ago, Emporor Qin united China. He brutally killed literates of other kingdoms, unified the money, the wheels of the vehicles used in that age, and burned kilos of bamboo-made books. He used his military power to gain the unification. Today, enterpreneurs use their strategic power of merging. Let's see how long the UC can be realized.
