In most third world and developing world countries, bribery is part of doing business. So yes, they do this in China. I’ve been there and heard first hand about it.

It's a cultural thing in the U.S. Just ask Al Gore and the Clintons.

Yes. Chinese don’t make real friends, they have guanxi. That’s all that matters to almost all Chinese and how they measure success. It’s mainly based on corruption and favoritism. If you’re into Star Trek, they are the human version of Ferengi.
