Are these the same ones "investigating" Trump's taxes?
The "saving face" thing is related to ancestor worship,
and fear of disrespecting them,
and thus gaining their ire,
resulting in curses.
However,
to be fair,
their isolationism either began or intensified due to Jesuit,
then Rothschild,
and elite European and U.S. families' infiltration,
corruption of the Chinese people,
and then control of them.
And if you have children,
they'll be placed under state care until all is satisfactorily fulfilled.
