So why are Chinese consumers so passive? Do they not care? Are they too busy? lazy? scared? As long as Chinese consumers don't care, the companies won't care either. The west didn't get consumer protection by sitting around waiting for government to act and nor will China.

Otherwise, all endeavors will be in vain one way or another. This is similar to the scenario where you solve one problem in one place at the price of causing similar problems elsewhere.
