Thing is they want high end expats but rarely have any of the amenities or infrastructure to recruit or entice them to come to China.

It's almost like China is trying to reverse engineer their way to success. Almost impossible to believe, I know.

Ok, this is pretty normal, where the government comes up with a slogan that vaguely summarizes the action plan, and it's usually accompanied by an equally vague set of criteria that officials can easily tick off on their checklist.

But this habitual, 'tick everything off on the list, job done, no need to follow up or do evaluations' process, where exactly does this come from? Specifically, the bit where saying that you did something is way more important than checking to see if you did it well.

I mean, is it just a matter of, "Well, mimicking products, processes, and systems has worked well for us so far, so let's continue cargo-culting our way to success!"?

The root seems to be that there is no perceived value to spending extra effort to do something well. I have made a widget, just like you ordered, give me my money. Why are you making distinctions between A, B, and C-grade widgets? Why are you complicating things? A widget is a widget, so give me my money!
