China sentences official to death for taking $325m in bribes

I genuinely think that the level of corruption shown by Roberts and others does more damage to society than serial killers do.

Yeah on the local level china is way more democratic than people realize, it's all merit based and tracks real improvement of life to constituents, you cannot be elected a higher party position if you don't have the merit of competency to back it up, like how Orange Donald hires stupid family members and yes men/women

Everyone in Government does this and yes, they all belong in prison for it. I don’t see them voting themselves into jail, unfortunately.
