> it's a general indifference to social consequences in China tho Interesting parallel to learned helplessness. [1] (Note: not making a value judgement, just using the psychological terminology) If (a) you are a company that exists in a state where the government can and does intervene at any time for purposes of social engineering, then (b) you would expect, over time, to develop a culture that deprioritizes considering social consequences, as (c) it's not something that's reliably in your control. By taking a more active hand in private-social interactions, it would seem the CCP ironically makes those same companies care less about it proactively, and simply follow the letter of the law.
