China and Corruption

The power struggle ensuing behind closed doors is becoming more and more public knowledge as information about Bo Xilai trickles out. There is a good editorial at the Post about how it might effect our future, and why we must tread lightly when investing in China for the future. Rampant corruption in China threatens the entire fabric of their government -led economy.

Another Chinese Politician Disappears

Where is Bo Xilai? The former mayor of Dalian is still missing, and the Chinese government is shutting down websites in hopes of quelling internet unrest about it. These kind of reports make me wonder how long a society like what China has set up can last. Too many people eventually will start asking too many questions, so many that it will go beyond what the communist government can contain.
