Yes they are a big company with many facets. You can like some parts and dislike others. They have always had a fan base, even during those dark times (but not as many). But seems like they worked on engaging others and now have a bigger fa

China is more imperial. They have a really long 100 year view. They don't mind losing money to gain a long term advantage. Yes it's exactly/similar behaviour to the IMF. Doesn't make a difference though to the people.
