This is particularly hilarious:

    The [new Chinese] law is "like going 20 years backward," said the
    monthly magazine of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai,
    which represents 1,300 U.S. companies.

Right, 20 years backward to, what would that be?  1987!  The 2nd
Reagan administration, the financial cowboys shooting up the saloon
and the decades-long campaign to revoke the New Deal and its sequellae
finaly getting some traction.

I think they meant that its like going back, however feebly, tardily and
tentatively, 50 years.

Ho hum.
