    And then people wonder why the Chinese have very high confidence in their government. Even if they only do this to the most brazen, that still builds an image of a government working for its people. It also sends the message that corruption has limits to the would-be corruptees.

      I don’t think it’s as much of confidence as it is fear. CCP is not really known for its transparency.

      This guy got a public execution, average citizens might just disappear.

        There’s public data independently gathered by western sources on this. Like this from Harvard. You could even see the numbers on corruption shift over time.

          Would love to see more recent data but this is definitely interesting. Not surprised to see people hate the local chengguan

      I don’t think you’re allowed to have low confidence in the government there.

        Its true, one time I was critical of a government policy, and President Xi immediately burst into the room and shot me, livestreaming it the whole time.
