welcome to western europe! yes, people in western countries DO steal ideas and copy others. not to the extent as in China, though but yes, they do. there's a group of entrepreneurs in germany whose business model is pretty much based on copying other companies (mainly foreign internet/e-business). has been working very well for them (they've made over $1bn). the difference is they do it more hidden as society (officially) does not really value copying others.
and corruption? well, let's be honest it does exist. You'll hardly find it on lower levels but quite often on the upper end. It's controversial and most people do not accept it. But again, it's not very uncommon in higher position in public services and in private companies. Same with Guanxi. For example, about 80% of job openings in Canada are not published. So how do these position get filled? Bottom line is we should stop pointing fingers at other nations. There is no such thing as a perfect society....
