China's policy is fairly sane. Nobody except for the inner circle of the party can take anything for granted. If you bribe somebody for advancement, if caught, both you and the person you bribe get brought down and punished. Probably a jail sentence, confiscation of any property that you might possibly have gotten through dishonest means, and in severe enough cases, death.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoChina’s policy isn’t sane at all. The lack of rule of law means a prosecutor or judge just can’t go out and act on corruption complaints, the party is internally policing itself (you have to be expelled before prosecution is even possible). Who gets brought down for corruption often depends on who they are aligned with, not what they actually did. It’s like wild parking in Beijing, everyone with a car does it, only a very few are ever punished for it. Or the fact that there are brothels everywhere except during CCP congress meetings, law is selectively and conveniently enforced, not fairly at all.
