> Your enemy brakes rules to gain advantage, why wouldn't you.
Probably because if your "enemy" (interesting that this wording started to pop up in relation to China a lot) is a totalitarian state which abuses their people... you don't want to follow their rules and societal structure.
At least that's my takeaway as an Eastern European with a bit of experience of such regimes.
Your enemy brakes rules to gain advantage, why wouldn't you.
I for long thought of this as a weakness in America.
Thousands of children of CPC's top leadership live, and study in USA, including children of Xi, Li, and Lin.
Your solution to solve your problem with China overnight was pretty much lying under your nose.
Think, not a single government employee in China can legally afford to pay for their children tuition in Harvard (which people in China jokingly call "the new Central Party School.") The salary of a government employee in China is legally capped at around CNY 32000. There is no way in hell even Chinese government ministers can pay for their children lavish lifestyles in the West from legit income.
