Getting off topic but facinating nevertheless.
Agree with this statement, problem is "equity and justice" for whom? Unfortunately in China, the definition is most times skewed for equity and justice for the rich and powerful or the ones with "guanxi".
It is the primary topic of conversation here in Wenzhou City. Amazing thing here is the attitude of the locals here. "It is what it is" "Sure it is unfair but what can we do?" "This is China" "Justice is for the wealthy" It is almost like they have given up on the concept and accept the decisions of those who are above them.
It is a facinating country.
