Yes. You get it!
>Yes. In China, any software in your possession is yours with no regards to copyrights and the like. But you, yourself, are owned by the PLA while visiting there and must behave more like a person during the Medieval period.
However, those folk during the dark ages actually had it better than folk in the USA today. More time off, less taxes, and many, many holidays.
Like everything it’s all about trade-offs. You know the movie “Office Space”? Well, that pretty much was my life. Now I’m in China. It looks more like a K-Pop video than anything else. LOL.
I might watch that movie with family. Thanks.
The mention of the word, Medieval, was exaggeration, of course, and an overly vague description. I have not been to China and don’t know much at all but have been interested in the cultures there and have talked to quite a few Chinese immigrants in the U.S. (talk about business, designs of remote rural home utilities and agri-tech.) and visitors (students at a university during the ‘80s).
It is my general understanding (correct or incorrect, speculation and all) that the general situation is one of being taken care of more in some ways with conditions being a willingness to learn, work and conform (in some ways). One must be very polite and old fashioned in the presence of most women (in some ways) and avoid promoting changes contrary to national policies.
One must also be aware that some people have higher status or positions of extra responsibility and be more careful with words and behavior.
Some Americans perceive that some Chinese people behave rudely. In the perceptions of many Chinese, some westerners behave very rudely.
