For anyone who has every done business in China it is plain to see that all of this hassle is designed only to extort money.
- baguasquirrel 16y agoI'm kind of disturbed by the kind of cultural misunderstandings that are going on here. Bribes are one thing. Gifts are another. An iPod is cheap change. How much do you want to bet those officials didn't have one already? When I was a child, my mother would give gifts to everyone from my piano teacher to the doctor's receptionist. We would do well to be able to distinguish between bribes and gifts.
