China and Her Laws

Here is an excerpt on the rule of law in China. The US and the west operate under the rule of law. What this means that law is standardized and fairly utilized. The rule of man is what dictators and despots use, China is considered to still use the ‘rule of man’, although they claim to be changing. The expert below addresses the issue. excerpt from here: “The Existing Paradigm for China In the standard view China lacked the rule of law throughout its long history for many reasons. First, the dominant intellectual tradition of China was “Confucianism” that valued the 1 rule by men. The most relevant other school of thought, Legalism, called only for the rule by law Legalism’s defect was dramatized by its association with the despotic Qin dynasty that unified China in 221BCE. (Li 1975) Legalism’s limited promise of equality before the law was emasculated by a process of “Confucianization” in the succeeding Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). During the Han, Chinese emperors could rule by will or whim over a hierarchical society that grew in size and sophistication over two millennia without significant change. The only shifts were an intellectual reaction to Buddhism (that produced “neo-Confucianism”) and a political reaction to Mongol rule (that resulted in “brutalization”). These developments merely heightened despotism and hardened hierarchies. Only with the decline of China’s last dynasty, the Qing (1644-1911), and the arrival of Western ideas and institutions did China transform its traditional, feudal, and imperial system into a modern, capitalist, and republican one. ”

Chinee Communist Party Infiltrating Foreign Firms in China

From “The Party- (Richard Mcgregor) “The Party’s efforts to infiltrate and control foreign companies was only one small part of a much larger strategy. The ultimate aim was to have a permanent party presence in every large private company in the country. For a display of the Party’s manic desire to be everywhere, there is no better illustration than the campaign it launched in 2007, to infiltrate private companies in Wenzhou. For the Party, Wal-Mart would seem like a pushover by comparison.”

China Looking for Another Product to F*#k Up- Jaguar and Land Rover

Not content to expand her toxic grip on the milk, wine and cheese markets, China is expanding its presence in the world markets at an alarming rate. Gone are the days of the poisonous dog food and dry wall, and Mickey D’s cups that leave you brain dead, China is giving us the ‘full monty’ as it were. Chinadaily announces that some Chinese company who makes ‘SUV’s’ is looking to buy Jaguar and Land Rover. My only question is the following: Imagine this scenario You are driving in your new Jaguar (pos)- post Chinese purchase thereof, and your foot slips off the brake and mashes down on the accelerator due to your pos Chinese li Ning sneakers, and all of this was due to your child’s howling due to the pain in his kidneys – a present of Chinese Sanlu Milk company and then as you hurdle forward, Spot your pooch’s head is thrown into a bag of ‘Poison Pal’ Chinese dog food, thus forcing the family friend to OD instantly, and at the last moment a bale of toxic Chinese drywall hurdles forth bashing you on the skull causing an internal hemorrhage.

Whore House or Sauna- in China is There a Difference?

Here is an excellent post from chinasmack.com. This post lists the services available at Chinese saunas (read as whore houses) and the real meanings of these services. For example you can see that one of the ‘services’ is ‘ten fingers strumming the instrument’- who says the Chinese are not creative. Anyway think of this list the next time your boss say s he is going to China on some serious ‘business’. Those guys know this is what China is about and thus that is why so many of them come here and put up with alot of the crap that goes on in China, after all, where else can a balding 55 year old guy get a 20 year old hottie, for the price of a steak dinner. This is the rise of China. excerpt: Below are images of service menus or lists at various massage parlors and saunas in China where most of the services available are written as wildly esoteric Chinese idioms that reveal little about the true salacious nature of the “service” itself. Most Chinese netizens are completely baffled by the terms on the menus, while others attempt to decode and interpret what the possible meanings could be.

Beijing to Raise Taxi Fare at the End of the Year- Chinese Inflation

Inflation is hitting China and pretty hard, and it’s only getting worse. China, possessing over 22% of all the people on the planet is having a hard time finding employees in some industries. The problem often lies in the fact that Chinese bosses are scum-like bastards who do not pay on time and lie and cheat the employees. Thus, the typical village can either stay home and work the fields and live on 200 U$ per year, or come to Beijing, work like a slave and then get stiffed on his paycheck. When I first came to Beijing, I lived outside of town and protests over work related abuse was common. In addition to this, the issue of house prices is contentious and as houses are important to all Chinese, most do not have the cash to buy one in the large metropolises. For instance in places like Beijing and Shanghai, the communists allow the developers to eat up all the land, “allegedly” and ‘allegedly’ allow greedy developers to kick the residents off their own turf and then take the land, only to resell it to the wealthy. The result is that a lot of the floating laborers or migrant workers as they are called in China are saying ‘no’ to working in the big cities. This lack of labor, alongside an increase in the price of vegetables, due some would say, to the fact that China is killing her land and crops, mean higher prices across the board. This has lead to, and will continue to lead to inflation which really has uncle chicom nervous as when you have 1 000 000 000 people who cannot afford to eat, things can get a bit dicey…. Oh yeah, China will raise the rates we pay on taxis at the end of the year…
