The Great Wall causes division...

OK, seriously now, what the hell is wrong with Chinese people? I haven't been able to figure it out, frankly. This is truly getting beyond ridiculous...

Oh my gosh...

This just goes to show that Capitalism is tyranny when in a society which does not respect the Law (the perks were intended to encourage private industry to pay their taxes... implying they weren't necessarily paying their taxes of their own volition).

I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceburg, but I'm kinda skeptical of how long a society can last which does not condemn theft (piracy and industrial espionage, even by the government) or other injustices such as these perpetrated against the poor, and yet condemns citizens expressing free thought or pointing out injustices in the society. Can an unjust society really thrive? And if it can, can it survive for long at all?
