Face. In China (and Asia in general) it is perfectly acceptable to LIE in your face if the alternative could be embarrassing. Dont know something? Lie. Competition is better? Lie. Will miss the deadline? Lie with a wide smile while shaking your hand. Lying itself is _not_ embarrassing.

Socialism, in the sense that is completely salvagable amid Chinese capitalism, is the situation of everyone having to talk like a politician.
