This kind of thing is rather norm in that part of the world and a local companies - they don't treat privacy the same level as in Western world and in some cultures they don't even have a concept on the same level as in western world.
$175 is not bad. I've seen a policy limiting to $170 for Bay Area and NY and $140 for other places in the US.
Our limit is very much location-based. I've seen a few hotels pop up in Concur flagged as "not allowed" even though the rate was under the generally-accepted limit of $150, because the town is full of cheap sketchy motels.
