Chapter 25

Previous >>281054962

Thanks to Shima's help and the fact she hadn't been using long, Chaco was able quit heroin and get clean. When she was released from the hospital, she told Shima that she and Robert were done and that she was also washing her hands of Vixen and in return Robert was giving her 2000 cases of wine from his personal collection. Later on, he and Kokubun went out to karaoke but Shima received a call from a panicked Chaco as Robert was in her apartment and on a rampage. The two of them took off to help her and were successful in ending the crisis. Once he'd calmed down, Robert lamented that his addiction had destroyed his career, his wife was divorcing him and Liu Yansheng had cheated him out of Vixen while claiming he owed money. Shima told him it'd be best if he left Shanghai but unfortunately for Robert, some of Liu's goons found him on the street and shot him, killing him.

Chaco had agreed to leave Shanghai to stay with some friends in London but was later told Shima (who'd learned it from Beniko) about Robert's murder. Yang Chunhua, Shima's secretary, overheard him talking about it and Liu and decided to reveal some things to Shima: mainly that Liu had previously cheated her family out of a sewing factory they'd owned, sending them into poverty and mentally scarring her father and as such she wouldn't rest until something was done about him. But Liu's underworld and government connections would make doing anything to him hard. Even worse, while Shima and Chunhua were investigating a store owned by Liu's lover, they were figured out and Chunhua wound up getting on the woman's bad side.

But Shima is talking about them leaving the copying phase to develop their own tech.
What I meant was that it would backfire because the chinese companies wouldnt respect copyrights enough to make profiting via licensing a viable strategy.

It's actually ganbei. Qian and gan share the same character in Traditional Chinese. On the Mainland, they would have different characters, resolving the ambiguity...

Ah, yes that's something that they don't even acknowledge here. Which is humorous in a tragic sort of way, they seem to give the Chinese much credit for so quickly taking up other elements of the manufacturing process.

That's all for this volume. Next time, Shima's adventures in China continue as he, I presume, goes and learns some kung fu if what Chunhua said is anything to go by.

Basically they had the same problem that a lot of other countries at the time had: the assumed that the Chinese were honest brokers who were looking to join and integrate with the rest of the developed world and not prideful, dishonest grifters looking to supplant everyone else as the dominant superpower. You see it earlier in the volume too where they essentially talk about how the USSR falling meant that sort of superpower brinksmanship was just not going to be a thing anymore.

It was intense cope on their part and it's hard to see any realistic alternative they could have gone with. If they tried to break with the rest of the world and not move everything they had into China then their collapse would have been sooner and attributed just to them. Instead they got into the pot with everyone else and slowly boiled.

I've been mulling over this thought ever since the china arc began and comments like yours appeared. just what exactly makes china be in the wrong when it comes to taking the economic advantage? why wouldn't you want to become the dominant superpower, it's a good position to have. the usa or europe would do the same thing. to me it just seems companies wanted cheap labor, used china to get it and simply lost in their own game.

you have to understand it's an old anglo tradition to use others as slaves while claiming some sort of moral and sometimes racial superiority. now that they're losing at their own rigged game they're trying to cope in various ways.
