"The rule of law in western society is usually well respected by both individuals, government and companies."
This is an illusion, and a propaganda to self which already has proven wrong last 20 years. Yet this propaganda surprisingly prevails. That makes me think the education in western societies, is in some sense totalitarian within a certain bounds.
With endless cases we know that politics holds the key to rule of law in most western countries. Rule of law in edge cases is not even valid for the citizens of that particular country, and it's not at all valid for foreign individuals and corporations.
- chii 8y ago> rule of law in western society is well respected. This is an illusion... Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. Most disputes in western society is handled very adequately by law. Some cases where monied interests somehow slips thru, or cases of bribery. But a majority of the time, it's treated as a vile crime. Unlike in countries where in order to do business, you have to establish "quanxi" (social connections), or outright pay protection money (ala places like Venezuela). The fact that a big deal is made by the media when a bribery scandal happens in western society attests to this fact.

- diminish 8y agoI don't at all think Russians have rule of law neither Chinese. But that self propaganda still prevailing in some Western circles is annoying.
