Below is a translation of a joke that is currently being circulated widely on Sina Weibo and other Chinese social networks:
There is a village that only has one restaurant. Everyone in the village has to eat at that restaurant. 

Villager: Why can’t we have more than one restaurant?

Waiter: Our village is in a stage of development where more than one restaurant can lead to chaos, so we only have one restaurant. 

Villager: But the food here is really not good!

Waiter: Our restaurant has only been developing for a short time. Even if the food tasted worse than this, at least it’s our own food! 

Villager: But can’t it be a little cheaper?

Waiter: That would not suit the conditions of our village; the restaurant also needs to develop.

Villager: But the employees of the restaurant are all driving Mercedes Benz cars!
Waiter: To ensure fair and uncorrupt staff, you need to pay them high salaries.

Villager: But last year, you lent all the profits of the restaurant to another village.

Waiter: This is the village policy, you don’t need to worry about it. 

Villager: I heard that the guy in charge of purchasing took all the money for buying vegetables and ran away to another village. 

Waiter: That type of employee is very rare. 

Villager: What about that time when we found sand inside the steamed buns? 

Waiter: Don’t worry, we have already fired that chef, he didn’t have the right qualifications. 

Villager: So when we’ve got so many problems, why do you still hang up certificates of high quality? Why do you tell oursiders that everyone is eating so well? 

Waiter: For whose interests are you speaking? What a waste that the village has raised you!

Villager: The grain was grown by the peasant farmers, the restaurant was built by the workers, and the chef is one of us common people. 

Waiter: Look at M village taking advantage of L village! M Village is really hegemonistic.

Villager: I can’t even get a decent meal, what do these other things have to do with me? Why don’t other villages have all these problems we have here? 

Waiter: Whenever you talk about yourself, you can only say only bad things, when you talk about others, you say everything is good. You village traitor!
