Does China Truly Offer an Alternate Economic Model?

First of all most of any corruption news in China isn't reported in China but in the U.S.
Second, its incredible naivete to believe that the U.S. system is so transparent that what is reported here is anything more than a snowflake on an iceberg? Corruption comes in many forms whether its cronyism, cheating on taxes, cheating on billing, making phony expense reports, or out and out bribery, and that's just the political system. Of course, it exists though out our economy.
I am still utterly amazed how easy it is to buy a U.S. election by anyone or any country that has an interest. If he desired, Osama Bin Laden could have easily bought 250,000 Visa or Mastercard Cash cards at $200 a whack, hired and trained a team of computer data input Jihadists to donate $200--- 250,0000 times to the candidate of their choice under every name in the New York telephone book. That's $50,000,000, but go pick your figure. The world will provide an infinite amount of help.

As to campaign money used for campaign purposes and not self? So, I guess we can expect no preferential treatment for any family or relatives through advice, positions, or anything else? What was it Hugh Rodham made as a plaintiff tobacco attorney even though he had never before been involved in civil law? What did Hillary turn $100 into in the futures markets? $100,000? How did the Clintons get out of that losing Whitewater investment without a loss? And this is only what we know. Not to pick on the Clintons anymore than anyone else, they're just more blatant like Bloggy.
