To give a easy example of this, that most of us can relate to, just look at the general reputation of Russian webmasters in this biz.

Russian webmasters have a long history of scamming and cheating in this biz. On their own forums they teach each other how to cheat vs how to do real business and boast about cheating westerners. This was a common issue as long as I was in this biz. Of course there were a few good guys in that mix but they sure as hell were a limited few.

China IMO is just the same as the Russian webmasters but with mainstream biz. There is some disconnect with doing legit business when it comes to Russians and Chinese. It's like they think it's ok to cheat or scam their way as normal business.. Perhaps it stems from their thoughts and beliefs of anti capitalism brought on by their govt's propaganda over the years, to the point they just think that's how normal businesses work.
