But they are in a communist system which means they CANNOT give bad news to the boss, lest they lose their heads, so that results in coerced behavior which skews the curve and may give them the APPEARANCE of being utterly foreign at times. But that’s no different than the media and government here, who’s proclamations and pronouncements so often seem to make no sense and have no coherence at all.

Great points. Thanks.

The pleasing one’s superiors is a real problem. Can be in the U.S. military & certainly in the Chinese leadership.

I think our military—at least the Navy—when functioning wisely—overcomes the problem—though not always soon enough for maximum operational effectiveness.

The Chinese try and manage umpteen survey’s that are purportedly anonymous. I don’t think the people trust the anonymous part very much.

But sometimes, the Party learns things they really did not want to see. Too often they then implement a Draconian response that’s full of counter-productive stupid.
