There is a Chinese sayings which I hear in TV and film before: 山高皇帝远 Sort of means the mountains are high and the emperor is far away implying no government there. Did a bit of search and it seems to come from some old literature 闲中今古录. Don't know what kind of book that is though.
Ah ha! A fellow conspiracy theorist!

I used to say that to my ex-girlfriend when she was trying to boss me around :-)
"Happiness is the mountains are high and the Emperor(ess) is far away"
You must have heard something before then.
