Clearly they did not violate Chinese standards. No need to say FXCK YOU to Chinese government standards, which makes a lot of people’s lungs go pitty-pat for a totally different reason.
Years from now, when historians study this period of “growth” in China they’ll realize that it’s more or less a Great Leap BACKWARD part 2. Seems like they have learned nothing from that disastrous great leap forward in the ’50s that essentially set the country back to the confucius era.
