Ouch. True. 🙁

OMG… So, you know, this would be one of those profoundly interesting discussions we could have that might prove educational to not only me but others.

Why does this behavior exist? In historical terms it means that a governing system is more political and less procedural. And that is rather odd given the very long history of chinese bureaucracy and institutional excellence.

I can see a hypothetical that is similar to the problem Confucius discovered, which is that because of all the ‘status signaling’ and ‘competitoin for status’ in the state and bureaucracy (in the absence of argument so to speak), that he could not and the people could not solve the problem of politics. Which, in general, is simply rule, procedure testimony and warranty.

But you know, woe be the intellectual who looks at history, finds some analogy there and tries to misapply it to the present circumstance only to look the fool when told the more obvious reality that is present in the day. 😉

So I would love to discuss this.
