If she did indeed evade tax why was there no trial? Why did she have to ‘vanish’? I smell blackmail from a mile away.
China doesn't seem like the type of country that would just allow you to skate off like that without punishing whoever they can who remains in China. I mean, if they are willing to go this far why wouldn't they? Fucking crazy.
The other issue here is misusing a neo-confucian value as a basis of China's corrupt system.
Again, attempting to conflate a single country's generalizations to a an erroneous and inappropriate label accepted by North American society.
You should've just used Oriental country.
I live in "Asia" and that kind of usage annoys me, too.
I have the pleasure of being and indian being taught Indian values and then growing up to learn that the Chinese / Thai / Other Asians were pretty much taught the same bull crap about respecting elders, and asking questions as to why will get you into a lot of trouble. Just my personal experience.
Among North Americans and perhaps native English speakers elsewhere, the term "Oriental" has been increasingly taboo and claimed to be offensive for decades now. I am not sure whether this is entirely down to Said’s Orientalism, or if opponents of the term have other grounds, but often saying “oriental” gets you a scolding these days and an encouragement to say “Asian” instead.
In the US it seems to mean Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and a few others.
As for "Oriental" it's not universal that it's offensive. It's not used much in Britain, due to there not being a lot fewer Far Eastern people than Indians.
Similar example with wealth accumulation. If someone accumulates wealth without clear coordination and loyalty to the party, they'll be viewed as a potential or overt threat. Then they will either be charged/convicted of a crime that besmirches their character (which conveniently creates problems for their family), executed or increasingly just disappear.
