The booming economy in China has not reduced crime and corruption, it’s actually accelerating it!

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) reported that the Chinese year 4710 (approximating to Gregorian year 2012) was another record setting year for investigations into government corruption.

47388 government employees were investigated for corruption, up 2800 from year 4709. In fact the SPP said corruption investigations have gone up four years in a row.

The investigations included 13000 county/state level officials, and 30 officials at the national level.

China’s Supreme Court system convicted 143000 people of bribery and fraud in 4710!  Why does the United States have such a problem going after corruption?
