Can you show your husband - he wasn't seeing it.

Susan brought up a good point on this last night.
One needs to consider the culture that it comes from. The Chinese tend to think more in terms of what is good the group - the collective conscious if you will. The individual is not as highly regarded as it here is in the West. This is not a fault of the Chinese: just a different mindset (which has IMO advantages and disadvantages).
Since they believe in doing what is best for the country (not the individual), it may have been at least partially "no big deal" to them.
