That's one of the parts from these reports that worried me most. They mention a strictly materialistic focus on making money in combination with a lack of traditional values and ethics which is supposed to characterize the current Chinese (mainland) society, plus it is at least tolerated by the political administration.
I think this does not apply, at least not to this excessive extent, to HK and Taiwan. And luckily not the whole 1.4 bn population in mainland China is tainted with this attitude. But with such a 'time trend' lingering below the wealthy and progressive surface, it's definitely advisable to stay vigilant.
And, to be fair, we can observe very similar developments in other parts of the world as well.
