Average day in China.
People owed months of salary stand there pleading and the officials laughs.
This is how parts of the system actually operate. Not around justice, but around 面子 (face).
As long as appearances are maintained,
the suffering underneath doesn’t matter.
That’s why you can get world-class infrastructure and world-class indifference at the same time.
Small people lose wages.
Big projects move forward.
Everyone is told to “understand the bigger picture.”
In systems where face > accountability,
injustice isn’t a bug — it’s the cost.
