I spent 45 years in tax, domestic and international consulting, and wealth management. Every year, a dozen clients come to my office complaining they can’t retire peacefully or leave the US because of their children.
Since I’ve known these clients for decades, I ask them a direct question: “Did you raise your children like pets, or as human beings who can face challenges?”
More than half the time, the answer reveals they set their children up for failure from birth.
My grandfather, father, and I (I learned from them) follow a few simple rules: at age 22, children must leave the parents’ house—no excuses. In the old days, getting into a Hong Kong university was hard, so those who failed high school had to leave at 18. My father had 10 children; six got into universities, so they could stay at home or board at his expense outside Hong Kong until graduation. Upon graduating, they had to leave. My father’s teaching, reinforced by my grandfather since grade school, gave us the drive to succeed from childhood.
Some clients say this is impossible in America. I tell them I practiced the same approach in the US that my grandfather and father taught me. Both my son and daughter left home after college. They own multiple properties in Hawaii and Oregon worth millions, without asking me for a penny.
How our children turn out largely depends on whether we raise them to be a liability or an asset to their family and society. The Choi family has proven this method works since 1875.

Back then, when Guo Jingjing got married, her parents returned an 11 million yuan dowry and a courtyard house worth 300 million yuan. On the wedding day, they did not sit at the main table, prompting the Hong Kong media to mock them, saying, “The Huo family looks down on Guo Jingjing’s parents and doesn’t value them.” 當年,郭晶晶結婚時,郭父母退回1100萬彩禮,和價值3億的四合院,婚禮當天,郭父母也沒坐上主桌,因此被港媒大肆嘲諷:“霍家瞧不起郭晶晶的父母,才對他們不重視。”
However, the truth was quite the opposite—everything was arranged by Guo Jingjing’s parents themselves.
When Guo Jingjing first got engaged to Huo Qigang, the Huo family presented her with a diamond ring worth tens of millions and an 11 million yuan dowry. Later, they also offered a courtyard house worth over 100 million yuan to Guo Jingjing’s parents. Yet, Guo’s parents refused all these gifts. They felt that although the Guo family was far less wealthy than the Huo family, as parents, they did not want to accept these things for free, lest their daughter be looked down upon, nor did they want to ride on the Huo family’s coattails.
Therefore, when Guo Jingjing and Huo Qigang tied the knot, her parents first took economy class flights, then transferred to buses, traveling through multiple stops before finally arriving in Hong Kong for their daughter’s wedding. During the banquet, they chose not to sit at the main table—and there was a reason for that. The wedding was the grandest ever seen among Hong Kong’s elite families, with 1,800 guests, including dignitaries from politics, business, entertainment, and international VIPs. The main table seated either Hong Kong’s Chief Executive or princes from various countries. The Huo family, worried that the bride’s parents might feel uncomfortable in such a setting, arranged for them to sit at a secondary table, which suited Guo’s parents just fine.
After the wedding, the Huo family felt they had neglected the bride’s parents. The next day, they personally delivered a luxury car worth 6 million yuan as compensation and offered an apology, hoping that the couple would stay in Hong Kong permanently so they could see more of Guo Jingjing. But Guo’s parents declined once again and left for their hometown the following day.
The integrity of Guo Jingjing’s parents earned her significant respect in the Huo family. As the saying goes, like parents, like children. After marrying into the Huo family, Guo Jingjing never put on airs as a wealthy matriarch. She wears shoes that cost 20 yuan, clothes bought from street stalls for a few dozen yuan, and hair clips priced at just a few yuan.
When a daughter marries, parents usually hope for a generous dowry as a sign of the groom’s family’s regard. But Guo Jingjing’s parents were the opposite—they cared nothing for such vanity and status, only for their daughter’s happiness and well-being in the future. By refusing all dowry gifts, they ensured their daughter could stand tall in her husband’s family and earn genuine respect. With such remarkable parents, the daughter they raised could not be anything less than exceptional.
TWO rare earth companies set up by the US to replicate China’s rare earth sector are fighting each other, it was just revealed. 兩家由美國設立、旨在複製中國稀土產業的稀土公司,近日被揭露正在互相對抗。
而且兩家都尚未生產出任何可供銷售的稀土元素。
其中一家公司 MP Materials,正將另一家 USA Rare Earths 告上法庭,指控其「竊取」技術 – 根據上週在德州法院提交的訴狀內容(彭博社昨日報導),細節已曝光。
And neither has produced any rare earth elements for sale yet.
One of the firms, MP Materials, is taking the other, USA Rare Earths, to court for “theft” of technology—as revealed in claims filed at a Texas court last week, detailed by Bloomberg yesterday.
“USA Rare Earth has repeatedly failed to meet its commercial and performance targets and is now resorting to stealing technology to dig itself out,” the court document says.
The crux of the matter is that MP says it developed a process to prevent demagnetization—but the rival company poached an MP staff member to get access to that classified knowhow.
HEAVY WEAPONS
Rare earth production is extremely difficult, dangerous and labor-intensive, so the world has been content to allow the Chinese to do it for decades.
But in recent years, the US realized it needed rare earths for heavy weapons with which to dominate the world, including China.
The State Department realized it would be awkward to buy Chinese items for use in a war on China. So taxpayer cash has been diverted to copy the Chinese (a US$400 million equity investment in MP in July 2025, and a US$1.6 billion investment with USA Rare Earths in January this year.)
The whole process is will take a while. “While USA Rare Earth has won US government backing, it is yet to mine rare earths or produce magnets commercially,” the Financial Times reported today.
MP appears to be ahead and says it is working with General Motors to test rare earth magnets it has produced for use in cars.
The US could save billions by simply continuing to trade with China, but its we-must-lead policy, a condition defined by psychiatrists as “megalomania”, is brutally up-ending global trade relationships.
