Re: PEI being Chinese not Japanese. (fwd)

Maybe the only influence Mr. Pei gets from China are that he's Chinese
(originally). I think he was born there and spent his childhood there.
That would be influential, although it's not some sort of obvious formal
referential device. This would be more influential than just the
implications of a name wouldn't it? I don't think that there are many
obvious stereotypical "Chinese tectonic devices" that you could point out.
