The chinese people are not as bad as people think,
No-one is saying the Chinese are "bad", just the management of their airlines. The vast majority of Chinese people will bend over backwards to be of assistance.
ok there are benifits of being in the governemnt ($$$)
Yep, that's called corruption, the phrase contains the word "endemic".
but at least they get stuff done.
If you're referring to the Olympic preparations, then I believe bulldozing thousands of homes and telling people to move it or lose it, is "getting things done", by your definition. HOWEVER,..Clean water, public health, sewerage systems and the like are a little behind Australia. Don't get me started about the "Aquaduct"
with the one party controlling all levels of politics there is no bullsh*+ like what goes on in Australia.
That's the scariest thing you've said. It's all bull****, spin and sensorship. Exactly like Australia.
They work on a philosphy of if you are a friend then all is good your business will be good.
That isn't a philosophy, it's a nasty, self-defeating habit called graft.
BTW Cantonese is the southern dialect. Mandarin northern, although Mandarin is the only one taught in schools to everybody, and is the official language of China. The number of regional dialects are probably too numerous to count.
