No doubt some of the tax evasion needs to be caught (where possible while maintaining a free market, I'm aware that may be a false dichotomy). However, there is little hope of anyt…

There wouldn't be, if that were the case.[3] As the article mentioned, many individuals are 'gifted' items from family members still residing in China. How do you tax somebody that…
