    It’s so refreshing how Chinese corruption still demands actually tempting sums, Yankees seem to be willing to sell their grandmother for less than a new car

      There’s no risk premium in the US. Bribery is practically legal.

      Yeah when I saw a similar headline of “so-and-so corrupt official sentenced to death” I assumed it was like similar things in the past in China where it’s like “and the sentence will be commuted when they stay out of trouble for a few years.”
