That isn't hypocrisy. It's self-interest. Their policies are internally consistent: they desire a strong China. Not permitting foreign investors, and permitting local investments to be made in foreign markets makes for a strong China. Not that I agree with it, mind you. But that's how it appears.
Pretty much. Also, I'm not a dev. I do other things, and only support PHP apps, rather than developing them.

Who cares about testing security code for regressions?

Since when is the promise of support the actuality of support? In my experience supporting enterprise and operations projects, it's often the free software that has the best support (by way of community). Just because you're paying doesn't mean you're getting anything of real value.
You are correct! The best possible answer.
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
