@Aldnon They try to rather. However China is one of the countries that has always maintained a very strong control over their currency outflows, so it isn't easy for them. This has also allowed the govt. to 'discipline' its businessmen who seemed to be getting too powerful, despite their enormous economic clout. They don't need to threaten them with jail or worse (which they could just nullify by sneaking out of the country), since all of them know their wealth is still heavily tied up in China. The ones who do leave end up having to sacrifice massively in the process. This is a level of control nations like Greece or Russia wish they had, since they have major tax evasion problems, though ironically the current rift with the West means Russia is actually benefitting right now from having its oligarchs kicked out of their favorite tax haven, the UK.

@andrieskrugersdagneaux5185 What exactly have the Dutch done to make up for their crimes? Have they actually sent reparations, or just paid lip service?
