No one even DARES to go against China because our (I'm talking from a European point of view here) economy depends on them. They have the biggest population so if your firm can deliver goods there, it's a gold mine! We need their market.

The Chinese are very slick when it comes to business as well. If they have meetings here, the first part is in English but in the end, the Chinese discuss amongst each other (in Chinese of course). If you (as an European or American) know Chinese and attend those meetings, you are looked upon as a spy.

As far as the rule about having one child max: boys are good, girls are bad. If the woman gives birth to a girl, the child will be killed or send away. They keep boys though unless it's a second child of course. Their mentality is totally different than ours and in their eyes, we are barbaric people.

However sad and frustrating it is, we cannot do anything about it because the economy would collapse...
