They say that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. In China, where local Communist officials are omnipotent and everything from moving house to having a second child requires a permit, corruption has reached unprecedented levels. Billions of dollars have been embezzled and getting anything done usually involves paying a bribe.
Realising that public anger at corruption was threatening the legitimacy of the Communist Party, President Xi Jingping launched an wave of investigations when he came to power in 2012. ‘Economic crimes’ still carry the death penalty and in the past two years, over 300,000 officials have been punished – including ‘Red Prince’ and Politburo member, Bo Xilai. But is this enough to save the system? After all, as one protestor states: ‘If the people rise up….they are screwed.’
This documentary was produced by Magneto and directed by Anne Loussouarn. It was first released in 2014.

Why the western media do not talk about corruption in America, it the biggest in the world always China or Russia or others
Chine?😂😂😂😂😂
27:03 13 years of jail for 12 seconds of pleasure 😅😅
So Xi hates corruption but he is corrupting our waters where we are hundreds of miles away fr china.
You can leave the country but you can't take your money with you
It's just a mafia where you have to pay protection money
Can we have a look at the Side walk camps like those in New york?
I love China
It’s crazy how the Chinese government tries to dumb their own people somewhat like North Korea and their citizens
But at the same time, it wants their youth to be the top tech engineers of the world 🤷🏻♂️WTF🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
It’s like having a fat kid who hasn’t eaten all day go to work delivering food 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂😂
Next time you get a delivery and there’s not many fries 🍟 🥱you know why now 🫃🏻🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂😂
Arre bhai China bhool jao yaar, hamare yahan kia corruption kam hai ?
Pehle apne khud ke desh ko sudharne do yeh mamle mei.😂😂😂😂
Chine or China from the intro, and you people uploaded it.
These are the same in Vietnam, North Korea except they cannot show emotion or any actions.
奇怪，開頭的那個人唱的歌裡面的三民主義明明是我們台灣的，你是在把台灣人說成中國人嗎，還用那種灰暗的濾鏡來醜化台灣，你到底是哪個國家的媒體？
Why don’t y’all send journalists to the central highland of Vietnam, how they mistreated the Indigenous people. Vietnamese who occupied their lands
You must be confused with India. Now that is a bribery culture. What I saw in just 2 minutes into this video, Chinese opposing corruption with conviction. No such thing in India, and India is a democracy.
Man the English have hated the
Chinese for centuries…they still
want to wipe them out since the
Opium Wars and never forgave
them for taking back Hong Kong.
Narrators wooden voice has "standard english BBC propaganda monotone"
written all over it. 😂😂😂
the content is not quite the case for today's China
Free China from communism
War on trade, war of insults ….. hot war?
❤
and the far right in europe admire the way China handles his people..
there is no point trying to fix institutional corruption in a country in which it is so ingrained in the fabric of the local society. the question is why would foreign companies aspire to do business knowing full well how expensive serial bribing is. never mind the amoral perspective.
