Since we got ourselves solidly back on the road to socialism on Tuesday, I thought it somehow appropriate to take a little peak at how entrepreneurship is doing in the People's Republic of China. From yesterday's ChinaDaily:
Successful entrepreneurs have surpassed pop stars as college students' idols, a recent Fudan University survey has found.In the survey, which sampled 150 students from different grades and departments in September and October, 96 chose successful entrepreneurs as their idols, 91 added scientists and scholars to the list, while only some 75 opted for stars of stage and screen.
The results toppled the old perception that young college students are most impressed by the stars of shows such as Supergirl Competition.
Considering the extraordinary lengths many student fans go to to generate support for TV talent show stars, such as parading in the street with placards promoting their favourites, the results come as a surprise.
Maybe there is still hope......
