That is where you are wrong.
It has everything to do with this.
Their evil regime will grasp at anything to strengthen its hold on the populace.
Have you read George Orwell's 1984?
If you talk to any Chinese from Shanghai about how the expats treat the locals, you'll get very similar responses.
My family has taught there. I know quite a number of friends there now. And NONE of them would ever exhibit the crudities you assert. We can trade anecdotals all day, but it seems to me that you're the one with the chip on his shoulder...and why should that be?
So a sample size of 1 from you would mean everything? I was in Shanghai for 3 days, and I saw 4 incidents of that already, one was what I described at the local Starbucks, in the international business district no less. Perhaps I hit a statistical anomaly, but even the local guys we hung out with mentioned it to us.
This thread has nothing to do with the CCP, nor would how foreigners treat Chinese has anything to do with the CCP. If you're talking about not being able to drive as a visitor - it's not just a US thing, they don't allow anyone to drive either. IF a Chinese citizen goes to the US, he or she can't drive unless they get a driver license, and they can't get a driver license unless they have a visa that allows them to reside in the U.S. Same deal here, i don't see your point about not letting them drive in China. If you're an expat living in China, then you CAN get a driver license and drive, but if you're just visiting on a business trip, you can't. Get it?
From all of these anti-terrorist talks on FR, are you suggeting that we let any foreigner in the US obtain a driver license even if they're not staying here on a long term visa?????? Are you kidding me????
