How much bribery and corruption in China?

Well Pete I have never lived in Chicago but I have seen how big business and politicians operate. Doggie for once we agree on something, well close anyway. The differences in corruption in China and the US is in how it is applied. With the CCP it is applied across the board, anybody with a little money can buy the decision they want from the government. In the US it is held between the politicians (like the CCP) and big business. You do have private individuals that buy favors from local politicians but not on the scale it is done in China. In the US big business owns the two parties we have in our Congress. The money businesses put into buying Congressmen gets them exactly what they want. Very very few politicians vote for what is best for their people, they vote the way their party and the men with the purses tell them to vote. This is the reason for the US economic problems, the elected officials are bought off and do exactly what they are told not what should be done. Doggie, I said we were close on what we think. I would give the US politicians a 4.5 or a 5 at the very very best.
