	Transnational China Project Sponsored Commentary, Robert Kapp on American Corporate Values and Chinese Values
		These talks are just part of the major initiative by the Baker Institute's Transnational China Project to open up research and discussion on the way that radical changes, economic changes in Asia, are changing Chinese culture and values.
		I find that over the now long span of my involvement with China, which began almost 35 years ago, the question of how the realities of one society are translated, not only linguistically but in a more non-verbal way, to the people in the other society, has been the most stimulating part of my work.
		And indeed, China is not without its internal debates and conflicts about the nature of the institutional change which is partly a function of the advent of foreign influence and partly a function of the continuing decisions that this leadership is making, going deeper and deeper and deeper into the structures of China’s own society.

	CorpWatch
		Transnational corporations and the globalization process they are leading frequently extract wealth from communities and countries, engendering severe social, economic, human rights and environmental costs.
		This would be similar to what many public institutions have faced as their government budgets have been reduced and they have turned to the corporations for support.
		As we mentioned in our initial correspondence, "many of the transnational companies you are partnering with are well known for their negative impacts on development, human rights and the environment." We based this assertion on an initial list of eleven sponsoring corporations we received from a UNDP country office.

		It was a time when the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) itself was undergoing a radical transformation and had made racism, institutional and corporate, the object of its concerns.

		Boundaries are set, the enemy identified, converts sought, and institutions created and sustained in pursuit of a comprehensive reconstruction of society.
		Similarly, any institution or individual attempting to assume political and legal sovereignty and seeking thereby to restrict the jurisdiction of God to spheres of personal law or religious duties is a usurper and a rebel.
		The pretext to open these institutions was the plea that Urdu, the language of the Muslims, was not being taught in normal schools.
