The lesson I would like people to take from China is that government is the only thing that can rein in corporate power. This is one reason (of many) why I either laugh or just roll my eyes at libertarians.

What does anything in this thread have to do with "corporate power?" It's the cops who put these people in jail and you have exactly the same power as Hertz to file false police reports.
