Talk:Corruption in China/Archive 1

Archive 1

anyone watching?

I've got three books here: Corruption by Design (Melanie Manion), Corruption and Market in Contemporary China (Yan Sun), and Cadres and Corruption (Lu Xiaobo), and will start adding info from them to this article sometime in the next few days. In case anyone else is watching/concerned with this topic, just a heads up. I usually work in bursts. Probably will restructure the article and add a lot of info, if there are no objections. If you have some ideas about online sources, please advise. I was going to try the CECC and some NGO sites anyway.--Asdfg12345 15:23, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

quickly putting this here for use later in the article:

How the West Was Yuan. By: W. P. B.,Forbes, 00156914, 3/13/2006, Vol. 177, Issue 5

An estimated 4,000 Chinese officialsaccused of assorted economic crimes have fled abroad, taking along theequivalent of upwards of $50 billion, says Xinhua News Agency, an officialpropaganda organ of the Chinese government. The U.S. seems to have been apreferred destination for those seeking to escape the punishment of--inXinhua's own words--"a bullet in the back of the neck." But latelyU.S. authorities have begun prosecuting suspects and even extraditing them toChina for trial after receiving official promises there of no-death-penaltypunishment. Regarding all those missing yuan--something above $1.25million-plus per missing head--Xinhua says ruefully, "Few … have beenrecovered."

Sourcing?

I find the second paragraph of the 'Effects' to be troublesome. "Others, including local officials, libertarian economists, and neoliberal intellectuals, play down the negative impacts of corruption... including admirers of Hayek, argue along the same lines." It's sourced but to nothing verifiable online. Perhaps we could find another source to firm that this is actually a stated position of libertarian or neoliberal intellectuals. Right now it just reads as a smear that stands apart from rest of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyle.dionneclark (talk • contribs) 20:44, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Using Political Connections to Achieve Business Goals

This might be a controversial inclusion since there's varying opinion on how close government and commerce should be, even among western countries, but I think something should be added.

It can be considered a form of corruption, especially in more liberal economies outside USA. Weewaterasia (talk) 22:02, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
