A great part of the coercion simply arises from the incredible inequalities, don't
you think so? And also from the vulgar show-off habits and from the other

different tolerances for such things.
John, the coercion also is there for all to see in China despite the size of the
country.
Aren't you both searching for too complicated explanations?
