Cugila, No - but I have been there and have regular contact with business partners there each week, it is going through a lot of change and is less like your stereotype now and will continue to evolve.
Whether you've noticed or not, the world is at a cross-roads, Socialism, Capitalism and any other old ism have all failed - what will replace them... I believe a new ism... Futurism that puts the future of the planet first, whether that be through environmental policy, education, child care, health care, overseas aid, diplomacy etc, with every policy verified by testing its effect on the planet and our continued survival here, what is in fact a natural instinct that has been lost.
Sorry for going so far off topic, but some threads just lend themselves to an expanding discussion...
