This is enough to make you tear up. Knowing how expensive medicine is in liberal 'democracies'.
This is also one of the reasons it's hard to learn Chinese. You can hear the words but they don't make sense:
Capitalist rep, offering a high price: This is the best we can do.
Chinese official: no
Rinse and repeat
Capitalist rep: This is the absolute lowest we can go.
Chinese official: The price. It sounds like death to me. I think you can shave off four cents.
Capitalist rep, defeated: okay.
Incomprehensible to westerners.
The official knows, too, lol, that the lower the price, the more likely the rep is getting sacked and so might be relying on state medicine without a private parachute. The lower he goes, the greater the incentive to get that price down even lower by both parties. Beautiful.
That sounds hilarious, do you have a link by any chance?
