I think you're totally wrong. China is not a nation of laws the way the US or European countries strive to be. It's a different philosophy. They have laws, but the laws are not supposed to be supreme over the rulers.
And there are TONS of examples of official lies, especially on the subject of the ownership and control of large enterprises.
- jacquesm 7y agoHere in NL our laws are also not supreme of the rulers. Frustrating but true and as much as I would like to believe that in a court of law our king would be held to the same standard as I would be I'm just about 100% sure that that would not be the case. Worse still, there is this file called 'crimes committed by the royal family' that is classified until 100 years after their death. This is why to this day we don't know the exact details of Bernhard van Oranje's many escapades and crimes, some of which were quite significant and yet ended up covered up. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_van_Lippe-Biesterfeld#Lockheed-affaire https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_van_Lippe-Biesterfeld... The combination of politicians and structural lying is unfortunately not limited to China either.
