Has China's propaganda machine made a serious blunder in scapegoating the Foxconn suicides?
Finding scapegoats or not, there's not enough facts for me to judge but one thing I can be sure of ie beneath the modern buildings and bridges, things are rotten. Strangers want to enter into any high end residential complex or to get any of the owner's tel/personal data? Give a few hundred yuan to the security guards/management office. Want to get your office registered/set up in days instead of taking 1-2 years? Market price is 10,000 yuan to each respective department. Landlords love renting flats to foreigners including to Hongkongers and Taiwanese, why? The security deposits never returned. Law firm's staff will persuade you to use her own connections instead of her boss' and tell you that her friend's charges are much lower than her boss. Anything, be it good or bad can be bought/solved with a price. Do I enjoy dealing with this sort of system? NO. I gather that some developing Asian countries like the Philippines have similar problems but the latter and its nationals never boast themselves great nor do they masked as a modern, developed world.
