They believe their actions are justified because it will only be for the greater good. Both of them have the same goal for each other which is to make China the way it was before the foreigners came. Chin Shih Huang states that Bao and him have similar ways of thinking. They both want to keep China the way it is and so they must make sacrifices (page 158). Bao only follows what Chin Shih Huang says is because he finds what he says to be true. If both of them have similars ways of thinking, they must agree with each other in things. One does not disagree with themselves in an argument or in a conversation. Bao would slowly become more like Chin Shih Huang because he is someone he can not disagree with.
