I don't understand how you're pricing corruption like this. The Chinese get a discount on their corruption? What does that mean?

To bribe your way out of a parking ticket in China might cost RMB100 but $16 won't buy you squat in the US. In fact you'd have to pay way more than the face value of a ticket to get it cleared. Also let's say you want to get away with murder, well that's about 100K parking tickets worth of bribery, but it's much more affordable in the darker countries than in the light.
