In Eastern Civilization, incongruence is not as excruciating as in Western Civilization. Our civilization wants things in order.

Actually, it's been quite thoroughly studied and shown that the inability to deal with cognitive dissonance is much more of an issue in western cultures than eastern cultures. The Chinese vocabulary even has more words to describe grey areas and situations, and it's been shown those thinking with within that logical framework are better equipped to deal with the grey area than oh say, yourself.
But don't take my word for it! Just reread your own excellent solution you ironically drew right after taking a grandstand on a culture and topic you barely seem to understand, much less see within yourself.
Maybe the only way to deal with this kind of moral squalor we see so often from the mainlanders, is to trumpet their misdeeads from the hilltops as loudly as possible; red Chinee have no morals, but they DO have a honour/shame culture, and will avoid doing the wrong thing if they will be called out on it.
The only way (your understanding of political nuance right there shows you'd do very well in politics! Probably in the Palin 2012 campaign), is to trumpet from hilltops. As loudly as possible, mind you! They [the Chinese] have no morals, (no doubt about that), but they DO have a weakness. That way, we can do this one thing and get this one result.
Yup, airtight and flawless. Not one Chink (see what I did there?) in your armor.
