F. People are busy developing their “guanxi” on festivals.
1.
In a society that strongly stresses “guanxi (connections) ”, festivals provide the best chance to develop and maintain relationships through giving gifts, but they also contribute to corruption (腐败) . The worst traffic jam Beijing has suffered in a year has once again focused people’s attention on “holiday corruption”.
2.
The capital suffered the heaviest traffic jam of the year on Tuesday, with rain making the situation worse. As the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day holidays approach, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transportation warned on Monday that traffic jam in the capital will reach its peak this week.
3.
Beijing, other big cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, and also major cities that are political and business centres, are also suffering heavy traffic before the holiday. Traffic jams are already a daily problem in some cities, due to increasing numbers of cars and poor road design. However, people driving across cities with gifts aimed at boosting their “guanxi” is worsening the situation.
4.
It’s also reported that moon cakes made with gold and silver are selling well these days. One salesperson told the reporter that the gold moon cakes, priced at 47, 620 yuan and silver ones at a price of 850 yuan per package, are favored by many companies.
