¡¡¡¡In tests of scientific thinking£¬ however£¬ the Chinese came up short. Asked to determine which statement was true¡ªwhether£¬ for instance£¬ smoking makes people gain or lose weight¡ªChinese respondents took the middle road£¬ even when they believed one statement to be less true than another.

¡¡¡¡He believes that this tendency to find the middle way has hampered Chinese efforts to seek out scientific truth through aggressive argumentation£¬ the classic Western method for forging a linear path through contradictory information£¬ which results in identifying right and wrong answers.

¡¡¡¡Dialectical thinking also has a Western version£¬ which Americans often consider the highest£¬ most sophisticated form of reasoning£¬ said Peng. This type of reasoning allows people to proceed from thesis to antithesis£¬ to synthesis.

¡¡¡¡£ÛA£ÝIn Chinese folk wisdom£¬ by comparison£¬ people do not attempt to work through the contradictions£¬ following a cultural tradition which holds that reality is ¡°multilayer£¬ unpredictable and contradictory£¬¡± and is in a constant state of change£¬ Peng said.

¡¡¡¡£ÛB£Ý¡°It can hardly be right to move to the middle when you have just read evidence for a less plausible view. Yet that is what the Chinese subjects did£¬¡± said Peng.

¡¡¡¡£ÛC£ÝThe Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth£¬ and Americans could profit enormously from the Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life.

¡¡¡¡£ÛD£ÝCompared to this angry£¬ blaming American stance£¬ the Chinese were paragons of compromise£¬ finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle.

¡¡¡¡£ÛE£ÝThe best way is to use both one style for science and another for relationships. Maybe that will be the real benefit of multiculturalism.

¡¡¡¡£ÛF£Ý¡°They should stop blaming each other£¬ poor people and immigrants£¬ and talk about what we can do as a society to become more tolerant£¬¡± said Peng.

¡¡¡¡£ÛG£Ý Now a University of California£¬ Berkeley£¬ Psychologist has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures¡ªpolarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.

¡¡¡¡[A] Foremost on every potential buyer's list of concerns is debt. The average South Korean Company is leveraged four times over its equity£¬ which is why so many are desperate to liquidate assets. But because Korea's currency lost half its value last year£¬ many Korean executives believe¡ªmistakenly¡ªthat foreign buyers will find their wares attractive in spite of their debts£¬ analysts says.

¡¡¡¡[B] Despite such aversion to foreign ownership£¬ some deals are going through. Directors of Bank of Asia are believed to have approved the sale of a stake in their midsize bank to Dutch bank ABNª²Amro. For the Bank of Thailand£¬ the central bank£¬ the ABNª²Amro deal will send a much needed signal that the country is welcoming foreign capital.

¡¡¡¡[C] ¡°The attitude of Koreans is that only foreigners will pay the price they are as king£¬¡± says Daniel Harwood of ABNª²Amro Asia in Seoul. But foreigners are looking at these business and saying ¡°How can I make a profit£¬¡± not ¡°Oh£¬ it's cheap£¬ and I'll buy it.¡± No one will take over these companies unless they can restructure.

¡¡¡¡[D] Survival is usually uppermost in the minds of companies with their backs to the wall£¬ even if that entails being reduced to a minority stake. In Thailand£¬ however£¬ most ailing companies seem loathe to admit that their conditions may be fatal. ¡°They aren't realistic£¬¡± says Henry Conell£¬ Goldman Sachs' Hong Kong based partner in charge of direct investment in Asia. ¡°Nobody is about to say to them£¬ you will be gone.¡±

¡¡¡¡[E] In south Korea£¬ interest from foreigners has focused more on the country's manufacturers. But£¬ the number of actual purchases£¬ like those in Thailand£¬ is small. In any event£¬ big ticket cross border mergers and acquisitions are bound to take time. Indeed£¬ analysts say the main reason for the dearth of deals so far is due to diligence£º foreign investors must thoroughly familiarize themselves with companies they might buy. ¡°You can't do this stuff overnight£¬¡± says a senior official at a large Western bank in Seoul.

¡¡¡¡[F] Still£¬ the number of deals is growing by the day. On February 19£¬ Samsung Heavy Industries simultaneously sold its excavator division to Sweden's Volvo Construction Equipment and its forklift operation to the United States' Clark Martirial Handling. Earlier£¬ the chemical giant Hanwha group sold two affiliates to its Japanese and German partners. Despite the slow start£¬ no one doubts that the bargains at Korea Inc. are for real.

¡¡¡¡[G] Thai businesses' unwillingness to sell hasn't been helped by the government's own ambivalence. While Finance Minister Tarrin Nimmanahaeminda is committed to attracting foreign money to Thailand£¬ Deputy Prime Minister Supachai Panitchpakdi seems less so. ¡°We don't want foreign firms to come and buy out our businesses. We want them to come£¬ buy shares£¬ and operate firmsª²and sell them after making profits£¬¡± he told the local media recently. ¡°This will give Thais a chance to buy them back.¡±
