Can lack of honesty and trust become an invisible but ubiquitous crisis in safety-critical software...........

development ? Can corruption, embezzlement, fake products, deception, malice and degenerating social norms become commonplace ? Can there be no longer any basic trust among people ?
If the following is true for the CCP, can it also be true in safety-critical software development?:
"To date, the CCP has cracked down on almost all traditional religions and dismantled the traditional value system. The unscrupulous way by which the CCP seizes wealth and deceives people has had a trickle-down effect on the entire society, corrupting the entire society and leading its people towards villainy. The CCP, which rules by devious means, also essentially needs a corrupt society as an environment in which to survive.That is why the CCP tries everything it can to drag the people down to its level, attempting to turn the Chinese people into schemers to various degrees. This is how the CCP's deceitful nature is eradicating the moral foundation that has long sustained the Chinese people."

Would Murphy's Law tell you that If the above is true for the CCP, it can also be true in safety-critical software development ?

Although I don't see this as an attack, why not attack the CCP? It's evil.

To answer the question, yes, lack of honesty and trust can indeed become an invisible but ubiquitous crisis in software development as in any other area of our lives. I've said it before, trust and respect are the two bedrock components of any and all relationships. Be it a love relationship, a friendship, a work relationship, or whatever it might be, if there is no trust and respect there is no relationship. What you have without the two components is a "failure to thrive."

Looks to me like a thinly veiled attack on the Chinese Communist Party. There is no philosophy here, there's not even a real question. I'm not a fan of the CCP myself, but a logical, reasoned attack would be more admirable.

The simple answer is YES.
