This led to the difficulty of Westerners doing business with China because it was believed that it was all a matter of self-interest and that Westerners pretended to have Chinese interests at heart. Xunzi's message was also the only one allowed by the communist party which led to guanxi and the hierarchical belief in using military strategies to build a highly successful business. These values ​​have been allowed and forced to endure by the communist party which has been in power for so long that people have become very individualistic and have had to rely on the guanxi strategy to endure the difficult times. I believe that the changes that are occurring and impacting these values ​​are due to the increase in trade relations with the Western world, which sees many of Chinese values ​​as corrupt or unethical. Guanxi is a great example of something Westerners see as corruption as it was originally based on the exchange of gifts and favors to succeed and create personal value in one's area of ​​business or success. Due to Western laws and global regulations, this can be seen as corruption which has been banned by many organizations and commissions in order to create a fair business system. Although guanxi can be seen as a change, hierarchy and pride have not been pushed to change due to the impressive economic growth that has taken place in China, as well as pride in one's heritage and doing Chinese things.
