Disenfrancised said:Certainly, though we would ask that you take measures to improve the transparency of your government and provide assurences of property rights before we agree to such a level of cooperation - we will not encourage our businessmen to travel to a country where their assets can be seized on whim.
(note we do not ask you to change your government, but only improve its predicitability and accountablity)
OOC: Xin Han is not Qing; it is a far more liberal and less corrupt dynasty.
We do not understand your mistrust of Chinese officials, who are surely as open as those of the EUA itself. China does not seize property on "whims", as you describe them. Nonetheless, we will make certain that nothing ill befalls your merchants beyond the usual twistings of fate.
