Why can't we export our CEO's to China along with their other employees? A good learning lesson for our Crony Capitalists and politicians on the take. Those that survive will return reformed.

More than 10,000 officials punished in China for corruption.
Well…at least its a start. Next to inflation and home prices, corrupt officials are the number one complaint locals have in China.
From Shanghai Daily…
More than 60 officials at the ministerial and provincial levels were punished for
discipline violation since the Party’s last national congress.
These high-level officials were among 600,000 people who faced punishment for violating Party and government disciplines since the 17th National Congress of Communist Party of China (CPC) held in 2007, according to a statement from the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) today.
Among them, more than 200,000 were transferred to prosecutors for involvement in legal infringements, the CCDI statement said.
One of the cases was the country’s former railway minister, Liu Zhijun, who was
expelled from the CPC after being investigated for corruption in May. His case
has been handed over to judicial departments. Early this month, Liu Zhuozhi, former
vice chairman of north China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region government was
convicted of taking bribes and sentenced to life imprisonment. Jiang Hui, research
fellow with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Xinhua that the country’s
leadership has placed the anti-corruption task at a high position in its governance
over the past 10 years. The CPC started large-scale efforts to curb corruption among
Party and government officials about two decades ago and, in the past decade, efforts
have been stepped, said Li Xueqin, head of the CCDI’s research division.
By 2011, the CCDI investigated about 21,000 graft cases after inspecting more than
425,000 government-funded construction projects across the country, and exposed more than 60,000 “small coffers” leading to punishment on more than 10,000 officials.
