Out of curiosity can you point me to where that's stated in plain English by the parties involved (if there is such a place)? I must have bad info/assumptions

You could even say "The Fourth" and almost all Americans would understand. I think that's why; [begin speculation] it's such an exceptional date it necessitates saying it differently.

Where's the line between the Chinese population and the Party's indefensible acts? Will more expensive food in China help to resolve this [or are Canadian ag exports re-exported]? I say this because I'm not convinced sanctions have been effective in cases like Cuba, Iran, etc

You can also "dump" your service when the money pump won't stop flowing; ie operate at a loss and offer it at rates that competitors cannot beat. EDIT for context: this is illegal internationally when it comes to physical goods in almost all circumstances I'm aware of.

I have worked for a startup operated by a McKinsey alum; he was totally incompetent, throwing buzzwords around constantly without understanding what they meant. I have come to realize his entire strategy was to purchase the company, dress it up in new clothes (without understanding tailoring or fabric) and sell it to another rube.

Very optimistic outlook for you to take towards a government which has taken even more drastic steps in the past aimed at corruption to (from what I can tell) limited effect and great disruption to non-corrupt citizens -- thinking specifically of demonetization. This seems like "big stick" policy to me, a hammer looking for a nail.
