Chinese treating Chinese poorly? China's workplace in general behaves in this manner. This is how they built up China's manufacturing sector from rags to riches, for a few.

Business as usual for China.

China's giant state-owned companies have first, and sometimes exclusive, access to the country's resources. They argued that the current system thus inhibits growth in the private sector, which in turn stymies innovation.

I'll second the following comment from Dudeson.

"It's embedded too deeply in Chinese culture to disappear in less than a decade."

The upper levels of business in China has adapted to accommodate world standard business models BUT the middle and lower levels of businesses lag far behind in world standards without guanxi.

China's leaders recognizes this essential adaptation as Xi Jing Ping's efforts to eliminate corruption.

Westerners see it as "corruption", but "guanxi" is business as usual at lower levels.....

Get out of the city and head for the mountains to view Rhododendrons and Azaleas

In the Dali area, in the surrounding mountains you can enjoy these wonderful blooming trees.
