Actually a Chinese word: "Kowtowing." It means submitting - showing too much respect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowtow

Kowtow, which is borrowed from kau tau in Cantonese, or koutou in Mandarin Chinese, is the act of deep respect shown by prostration, that is, kneeling and bowing so low as to have one's head touching the ground. (from wikipedia)

working collectively together without KOWTOWING to the authorities ... KOWTOW = to act in an excessively subservient manner
