I am not Chinese, my wife is though.

I think, at least from my interpretation of it from being in China and having Chinese family, that something like underage drinking is seen more as a family issue, than a legal issue. What stops the 16 year old from drinking? The fact that their friends / family will see them being drunk, and think less of the person and their family. A 16 year old being drunk in public is family issue. Sure, the cops will intervene at some point, but China has very little drunken / raucous public behavior than the west does.

That's what happens when you get systematically manipulated by the biggest empire in the world smuggling in illegal drugs...

And then people wonder why China is antagonistic towards the west.
