That is essentially a meaningless statement. If there was a Chinese law that stated foreign companies had to turn over 90% ownership to the government, your statement would still hold true.



"Your house, my rules."

Is this what you are suggesting?


If someone's house rules are so strict that nobody wants to hold game night there, yet this person loves playing in other people's (far less restrictive) homes, how long before we stop inviting them?


You don't invite friends to your home just because his/her mom has strict rule in their home?


In terms of adult game nights (or potlucks, parties, etc.), the standard etiquette is everyone takes a turn playing host (since there is some cost incurred/liabilities playing host).

Would you feel entitled to attending such social gatherings, even if your house rules are so vastly different than everyone else's they dissuade anyone from coming?

Also, anthropomorphizing, China is not my friend. More like arch rival, perhaps even nemesis. Canada can come over whenever.
