Shanghai Party Boss Held for Corruption |
Shanghai Party Boss Held for Corruption
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/25/world/asia/25china.html?ref=world
By JOSEPH KAHN
The move is part of a government crackdown on graft by China's
president that has focused on prominent political opponents.

Hey, maff..
No flame, just curious, since you seem to have studied China a little
more than I. Do you think they will ever be able to bring corruption
under control? I can't imagine what it would take in a country that
populous, especially with so much new money flowing into the country.
And the fact that this was a political opponent makes me suspect the
motive..

But that's what haappened in US and UK as well, more than 100 years
ago. It takes time.

Same here - no flame - just pure concern with a dash of curiosity =

water eventually flows, but the question remains - how long will it take =
before all these pre-Liberation corruption that is now surfacing once =
again be cleaned up, if ever. One ray of hope is the fact that these =
corrupt high-ranking officials are being placed in the limelight, so =
somebody somewhere does care and is making an effort to clean up the PRC =
government.

Itīs still going on to a certain degree. Not isolated to the US where
there have been a never ending string of political corruption scandals
over the past 200 or so years, as late as September 5th, the Daily Mail
ran an article claiming that the UK is more corrupt than most African
nations because of its offshore tax havens.

If you were to compare the UK to China today, would you say that the =

in China? No flaming intended - just curious.
