- graycat 11y agoYes, but I (1) was reluctant to believe that many of them would so flaunt their ill-gotten gains that they would have their kids paying full tuition at a US university and commuting to class in a Ferrari and (2) did get an impression that at times such government bureaucrats got strung up, a firing squad, long prison terms, or some such. It's on the other side of the plant form me -- I don't have good information.
- skuhn 11y agoMy guess is that this is part of the incentive to do this on the other side of the world. While we're hearing about it happening, we aren't getting specifics about particular people because it's just one or two people living ostentatiously it's a small herd. In a way it's less chance of publicity blowing back on your family in China than flaunting your wealth in Beijing.
