I am not questioning that there are cheaters in China. There are 1.4 billion people, any subset of those 1.4b will look huge to anyone.
And no, I disagree that Chinese culture is all about scams and buying/selling pirated goods. Business is the least part of Chinese culture, a Chinese billionaire would rather his children to be doctors or lawyers, business owners are not perceived the same as professionals. Yes, we do have a saying that 'all businessmen are corrupted', because its profit driven nature of business. We also believe building trust and relations is the only base you can build your business. Buying and selling pirated goods do exist, and they are not scams. As I said, it is a response to the consumerism world, it is good that you don't have to rob a store or steal money to buy the real thing. China is the biggest market for many foreign brands, it is a fact. Nike won't report profit from fake Nike shoes.
Anyway, thank you for making the effort to educate a Chinese about China and Chinese culture. Enjoy your day.

- neonological 6y agoIt is very strange that you're chinese and can't recognize the behavior of your own country. Of course a chinese billionaire will want their children to be doctors. Every chinese person wants that. But not every chinese person can be a billionaire let alone a doctor. So what do these people do when they can't be rich like you? They cheat. They hustle. You ever heard of the lost generation? It's a generation of cheaters. I'm chinese as well and I can tell you, it's pretty sad that I have to educate a chinese person about chinese culture. The united States, like china, has many issues. But unlike china its citizens face these issues head on. Is there racism in the US? Yes. How does the US deal with racists? By protesting and criticizing them and demanding change. Are there economic issues in the US? Yes. And citizens deal with the issue by talking openly about it and discussing ways to move forward. How does a chinese person deal with rampant cheating in their culture? By denying its existence. Not only do you deny its existence, but your government makes damn sure that you better deny it or face the consequences.
