I think anyone describing Chinese guanxi as simply 'tribal' should probably reflect on how the US elections look to an outsider.

Option A) The wife of a former president

vs.

Option B) A former close friend & financial donor to the same former president.

Chinese guanxi looks pretty tame compared to the US race for 'most powerful person in the world'. :-)
