Yup - they actually start to think that we as a client needs them more than they need us! Strange but true and I've observed this multiple times in the many years I've been doing business in China etc. And this nonsense was all the more acute prior to the Yanda when business was so good that OY/YH KTV rooms was practically being "auctioned off" to the highest bidder some week-ends.

Yes very true even in business.

One effective to counter that is openly let them know we are having alternate sources and make them understand that you will give more of your business to those that comply to your instructions.

Just have to keep these China men "on their toes". Be it business partners, mummies, managers, MMs, drivers etc......Otherwise very soon they will "climb all over" us.
