Three Chinas / Dr Yang Jianlior business owners. Working for the Chinese government has become the mostlucrative career in the world, with guaranteed income and profit. All this wasmade possible thanks to the Tiananmen massacre and the political terror thatwas imposed on the entire country in the years following. Any room for a publicsystem of checks and balances against governmental abuse of power was takenaway. There may have been some officials in the regime with some kind of visionand ideals before the massacre, but afterwards almost nothing of the kind existed.In such a political environment, political power was dancing a full-swingtango with capital operation.
