The Chinese who don't view contracts that way, don't get contracts by and large. What you mean though, is that there are Chinese people who hate what has happened to their country, their government, their way of life etc.

There's a guy I heard about, friend of a friend, who had a contract with the Chinese, got totally screwed over. He found out a Chinese guy basically stole his "idea" and the stuff he assembled in China to implement it. He had to get specialized American lawyers to deal with all the bs and they flat out told him, what you thought you signed isn't what you signed and explained to him that although what he said in the contract was in the contract, the translation of it and the fine print, basically said the opposite of what he thought he was signing. He almost lost his entire fortune. I really don't care about him though, other than I feel sorry for anyone that that happens to but somehow, it's harder to care, when I found out, he thought China was going to be nice to him "oh they're so nice". Srsly, all he talked about for a couple of years was how great China was and even sent his kids to a Chinese immersion school because "China is the future.". I feel sorry for him in the sense that his idealism got destroyed but not sorry in the sense that the idiot voted for Jao Bei Deng.
