this is comparable to the police cracking down a club in the soho in ny then arresting everyone because of marijuana. not speeding tickets.
the middle class expect exemption from rules that are normally applied to poor and minorities.
see also how in the usa someone can be arrested and have money confiscated if they can't prove its origin to the officer searching the car. this is unthinkable for the middle class. but still the law.
this is the right comparison. nobody in China that has the means to participate in those parties expect to be subject to laws against it.
Good point. And the middle class damages itself with their lack of solidarity with the poor and minorities. Because the condition of the poor is the threat which keeps the middle class in line.
