You are trying to refute this article with whataboutism, but there is something unique and different about Chinese culture and corruption. The article even names it; "Corruption is the hidden golden rule of China". It's endemic; inherent to the Chinese culture. It's not seen as morally problematic. It's admirable if you can get away with it. It's very close to Might is Right as a belief system. In the last nine years my new job has me interacting intimately with Chinese nationals in the USA and China. Every few months I get reminded that most, but not all, Han Chinese have very different moral rules. It's very disheartening.
