You clearly don&#x27;t know how business operates in China. China doesn&#x27;t care about tax revenue or deficits, they want capital investment and capital expenditures (especially in light of recent record capital outflows.) They have strict capital flows for a reason.<p>In China there isn&#x27;t really a private&#x2F;public divide like the U.S., bribing and knowing people in government is absolutely essential in China. Sure, it helps in the U.S. (and every other country), but it&#x27;s not essential. China is a different beast. Doing business in mainland China is quite the experience, I know of no one who actually likes doing it. The Chinese are still communists after all, and if you have a supplier there...they are not loyal. They will knock your stuff off in a heart beat as soon as you leave.
