Epstein more than likely tried to blackmail at least the British crown. You'd think that people wouldn't try and antagonize a family that owns their own torture tower and shows it off to tourists. Regular corruption is fine in the West though, it's a victimless crime. For people who matter anyway, not the peasants who have to drink drilling oil fluid. The point is that in the West there are clear and mostly unchanging rules that everyone knows. In China not so much. Today you're the richest man in China, tomorrow you're an enemy of the people, next week you have tragically fallen to your death taking a selfie from a ladder. All while doing the same thing everyone else in your wealth bracket does.
