Chinese work ethic outdoes Americans

Your editorial on the first business day of 2005 is a disappointment (“Chinese new year,” Jan. 3).

I am frustrated by the loser’s attitude I see among young, healthy Americans. Attitude is an effective strength China has over us. The Chinese work many more hours than Americans, who play many more hours than the Chinese.

Our trade deficit will never be fixed until all Americans start working as many or more hours than the Chinese. I fear we may have to read the same editorial every year.
