They're communist. So everything goes through them. And they want to look good.

Communism the issue? They sound very "Enron" in their bookkeeping? Maybe they're just like any human beings that have been caught up on their own hubris and are now desperate to make reality match the perception they've created.

I agree. It doesn't seem like communism is at fault here. In fact it is competition for investment that was the driver, a very un-communist thing.
