Rather, I see it as part and parcel of it. The bottom line is that the Chinese authorities and the courts (same thing) are starting to get tougher regarding the enforcement of many laws, foreign company registration laws and IP laws, being just some of them. Good question regarding which influences the Chinese government more, its own people or outsiders. I definitely say its own people. The Chinese government is far more worried about losing legitimacy with its own people than with outsiders. The Chinese government seeks to stay in power and its own people are its biggest threat towards not being able to realize that. Fili –

That might happen, but I have a feeling that would be more of a demographic issue - dealing with the rising minorities and also the bad ratio between male and females in the country. Nice.

I thought it would go the other way. Especially concerning IP law and crackdown against piracy. I think China is aiming at becoming a more secure investment for foreign companies. Who do you think influences the Chinese government more? the Chinese people within or the economical forces from the outside? Hmmm… interesting. I thought it would go the other way.

This is in many ways the easiest and least controversial way for the government to side with those who are calling for decreasing foreign investment in China.
