As confusius said, "A favor should always be returned". I must say that I admire what the west has done in developing their countries and projecting their power all over the world in the past 200 years! Even over taking many anicent countries like China, India & more! The west sense of innovation and detail is un-matched anywhere in the world today even in China.
