All cab companies in Toronto most likely owned by independent entrepreneurs, whereas all Chinese cab companies owned essentially by connected crony interests. The drivers are literally no better than indentured workers to the BOSSES, having to pay enormous sums for the right to earn a meagre living. With much higher fuel prices not absorbed by the fares, the BOSSES still rake in usurious returns by the fixed rents, under the table fees etc.

Yo, KFC opened its first restaurant in China right on Tian'anmen Square in 1987, and the voices tell me that this was definitely not a coincidence. And remember when Coke and Pepsi brought rudimentary two-party democracy to China?

As a Torontonian, China has more consumer choice in regards to taxis than most Canadians.

anything that the CPC can’t profit (expropriate or grab) from or threatens (they are psyched big time) their control – they will try squash like a bug, coz theres nothing in it for ‘em, no matter how well the people’s served.
