I own and operate a business in Shanghai and yes there are plenty of restrictions here but if you play the game right and develop proper guanxi, you can be quite successful. However, most of you ignorant Americans are either jealous or just stupid and would rather bash China than actually get off your lazy fat asses and do some real research and figure out what's really going on. Americans love to thumb their nose at other emerging nations and peoples because these emerging nations are doing better than them, acting like spoiled 5-year old children who don't get their way. When China refused to take on further American debt... What did the US do? Gracefully acknowledge defeat? Nope, they whined and moaned to the WTO about the same old song and dance about currency manipulation. This despite the fact China allowed their their currency to float in a range just a few years ago. AIG, GM, etc.... Basically all the companies that are on life support in the US are making record profits here.. Geee I wonder why... Proper regulation and oversight perhaps? It's hillarious you dipships always cite "strict regulations and harsh rules". What would you have China do?? Adapt the same "wild wild west, anything goes to make a quick buck" attitude the US has had for the past 5 decades? America is over, China is now the new megapower. Get used to it or be left in the dust. Looks like most of you will eat dirt.
