What's going to be the excuse from the owner of this Taiwanese pager maker.
It’s pathetic, and very Indian of them. Mind you, I can’t even call it an Indo-European thing since Koreans were also claiming things like how they invented everything and Jesus was supposedly Korean. If these Koreans, Vietnamese, Japanese want to be China so much, why not just join the PRC as an autonomous region?Old enough? Christopher Beckwith just claimed it again in his 2022 book The Scythian Empires. He even threw in Zhao this time along with Qin. Pretty soon all ancient Chinese states will have been founded by Indo-Europeans according to Western propaganda. Poor Koreans and Indians, out done by their Western masters once again.
Indeed; anyone who's ever applied to any financial services firm/bank will notice a question asking if you, the applicant, have any family members in government. This isn't just a 'get out of free jail card' for the firm when they induce you to use your political connections for the firm's gain, it's also to see if they can cultivate you. It's the reason certain (usualy white, jewish, anglo male or female) demographics seem to get to board positions over other ethnicities.Paying ridiculous above market salaries started off as a tax evasion/nepotism advancement mechanism for the ultra wealthy, but had actually evolved to also become a selection and grooming technique used by the ultra wealthy to achieve state capture in the west.
The practice goes something along the lines of creating some extremely high paying posts that have a vast number of suitable candidates. This is the above market aspect where the individuals earning these megabucks salaries could not possibly get anywhere close to the same compensation anywhere else. This is fundamentally different from people getting paid megabucks because of their own skills/capabilities, for example like world class professional athletes or award winning scientists/inventors etc.
The very act of paying so vastly above market rates creates an equally vast power imbalance where the boss can ask the employee to do basically anything. If the employee doesn’t like that then they can leave and there are literally a million other candidates ready and able to step in to take their place.
The true value of this power dynamic isn’t that a boss can lord it over his underlyings, but that it can be used to influence people in highly powerful and influential positions of power.
This is how legalised corruption and state capture works in the west. Government officials make decisions to benefit the ultra wealthy, and what do you know, those officials’ offspring gets selected to go into some of these megabucks paying positions in the companies of the ultra wealth individuals who just make ludicrous amounts of money from those government decisions.
Once so employed, the offspring of the government officials will then get assigned to work on lucrative government contracts, and basically becomes hostages for the company, which can now go over budget and not deliver on time to milk the taxpayer for many times the value of the original contract. If the government were to find the company at fault, then the offspring of the government officials will also be found at fault and fired from their once-in-a-lifetime dream job, so is it any wonder the government always gets taken for a ride by these companies and never imposes any consequences on them?
Beijing saw how these Trojan horse jobs were used to thoroughly comprise the west, which was is why it is nipping this poisonous weed in the bud before it can take root too deeply.
Then the Chinese companies can also go around it by forming shell companies and JVs. The brand and flag of the product can always be changed to suit the market. If America wants to tariff that too, it'll become a bureaucratic nightmare. All this while America's own industries continues to grow weaker from all that protectionism. So keeping Chinese goods out of America way easier said than done.
