  17.  @WarH  It's China, Corruption is the Economy. Same problem the Soviet Union had. It's a symptom of Socialist regimes and their top down nature. When bureaucracy is the only means of getting anything done, it 'requires' under the table bribery, to cut through all the red tape and bureaucratic nonsense. As a result it breeds an environment of corruption in almost every aspect of society. I mean there is a reason the Former Soviet Union got taken over by Organized Crime after the fall of the Communist Government. Who do you think had all the wealth? Had all the power? Had all the resources to do that in such a tight fisted system? Those who were outside the System, the Criminals. The Black Marketers. Those who could get people whatever they needed in a system which everything was rationed by the State. When that system fell, they took over, they had the money, the man power, the strength to take control and they did, and the 1990s became known as a time which the Russian Mafia ruled the former Soviet Union. To some extent they still do as the Wagner PMC leader is a former Mafioso, who knows who else under Putin's rule are former Mafia men despite claiming he crushed the mafia. Same issue persist in China. For generations she was a tight fisted regime. Still is to some extent. To get anything done, and I mean REALLY done requires corruption. Which is why I said Corruption is the Economy. Even if the Corruption hurts the people the Regime claims to support as it sucks those resources away from where they were meant to go, but if that corruption didn't exist those resources likely wouldn't of made it there at all as no one would of had incentive to do so. People think Capitalism goes away in a Socialist regime, but it doesn't. It just takes a different form. While law abiding citizens suffer.
