Re: Suppose Boeing was Chinese
Sorry to contradict your "Those eeevil Chinese!" trip, but I think the results would be quite different. Simply because Honor is very important (even essential) in China.
The Chinese government would definitely have jailed the managers responsible for bringing disgrace to the country. Note they still would had made efforts to hide the incident from the general public (local and international), but simply to avoid the embarrassment.
Cheating and stealing is okay (proves you're smarter), but showing incompetence or weakness is a huge no-no in Chinese culture. Do it, and you're henceforth a shunned nobody.
