One thing I like about China is they don't fuck around with rich assholes who fuck shit up.

Here you can see the head of the railroads in China was convicted of corruption and was today sentenced to death:

A couple years ago the Food and drug administrator was executed for corruption as well:


Zheng Xiaoyu (Chinese: 郑筱萸; Pinyin: Zhèng Xiǎoyú; December 21, 1944 - July 10, 2007) was director of the State Food and Drug Administration of the People's Republic of China. He was sentenced to death in the first instance trial at Beijing No.1 Intermediate Court on May 29, 2007.[1] He was executed on July 10, 2007 for corruption[2] and possibly tainted products in Mainland China.​



In the US a politician gets involved in a scandal and they simply quit their job or get fired, only to take another high paying job elsewhere and continue being rich assholes. The US needs to start executing higher ups instead of just lowly criminals.

agreed, damn China got this one right. No wonder their economy booming instead of being concentrated to a very few billionares and millionares like it is here.

Mexico still holds the title for worse corruption out of the bigs in North America is U.S taking notes?
China's wealth is way more concentrated than the US.

You have two countries coming from total opposites. One country where everybody was poor except for some political leaders, and another country where most had a good standard of living. But this has been changing for the last 30+ years, and you are getting close to where there is not much of a big difference anymore...

Just in the last ten years alone I have seen many Chinese office workers get rich. From living in shitty apartments to driving BMWs. Don't even have to talk about company/factory owners...In the last 4 years alone, the wages of simple factory workers rose by 50 to more than 100%.

Still, not everybody in China gets sentence to death for corruption. Because Chinese society is build on corruption. You have to invite business friends, you make gifts, etc.! Almost 100% of Millionairs/Billionairs in the country have government officials in their family!

Nowadays the hate for government officials is huge in China. They would celebrate if they die. That's why they have to execute the biggest scandals here, or the people would go nuts...many still get away with it.

Just talking about China as a whole. But of course there are differences and especially the coastal regions with their special economic zones are a lot better off than the regions in the inner parts of China, but to distinguish between them all is difficult.
