[quote=APAULT,39733]SanyaC: first, I haven't heard that word 'dialectic' since I studied politics way way back...though I would suggest that the govenmemnt's 'scientific development' has its roots in the same idea.   Second, I have never found cheap hotels are full when I try to book in but maybe my 'cheap' is not the same as your 'cheap'.  Third, inflation in Australia is certainly way under the 4-5% you suggested applies in the west, it is just over half of that.

Anyway, I agree with your last post (mostly) that businessmen cheat as a matter of routine and that is sad for a country which is officially socialist - in practice it is easier to be one of the worst of capitalist bosses in China than any developed country.  But I don't agree this is true at the poorest end, market stallholders, taxi drivers, small restaurants etc have nearly always been honest in the smaller cities that I have spent most time.  Sometimes they even want to give me free things and taxi drivers have reduced the fare below the meter.[/quote]
