100% agreement here. China is a mess for anyone trying to do business there. Most companies can't ignore it because of its growing market, but it's a royal pain getting established there, which invariably involves quite a bit of bribery. And then when the Chinese government decides they don't like foreign intervention/competition in an industry, they'll arrest or harass your workers (this happened recently with Rio Tinto, but is pretty common).
