It is.

No one will ever become a citizen of earth if no one tries. You can learn from playing.

I prefer to work with an engineer who worked for both Apple and a Chinese company than a fanatic nationalist engineer from any of the 2 sides, regardless of government type.

Did you ever worked for a Chinese company? That engineer worked for both, he works towards a borderless world.

Edit : oh, and he is transparent about it. That engineer has more integrity than Apple.

Edit 2 : if I were able to give an anonymous dollar to that engineer in order to help him, I would do it.
