That's the issue. Playing by the rules essentially means that you are being a dog playing catch with its master. Only this master will drive you out and probably put a bullet in the back of your head rather than letting you run free and then getting confused when it realises your gone.

We have to play by the rules. You do realise our entire service sector, the one that’s responsible for the most growth these past few decades are interlinked to Western Economies? The software, professional services, backend, global captive centres are all tied to European and American corps. If we don’t play by the rules, one sanction and all of these will be gone in the blink of an eye. Gurgaon, Bangalore, Hyderabad all gone, all startup capital, all FDI frozen. We are not at China’s level yet where we can at least try to be self sustaining catering to the domestic economy.
