Corrupt China: The Secrets Behind the State | Xi Jinping Government Corruption Documentary

They say that power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely. Realising that public anger at corruption was threatening the legitimacy of the Communist Party, President Xi Jingping launched a wave of corruption 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.’
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. We go undercover to investigate the extent of corruption in China.
This film was first released in 2014.

It's more than admirable the utter courage of those Chinese journalists, as well as ordinary citizens, who face immediate repression for so openly exposing what's really been *"a way of life"* for the majority of Chinese officials (but also for the Chinese people in general, as a culture) for too long now. And I'm talking about expecting *"gifts"* from anybody, as a form of doing business/administering a place.. Is there any valid logic for that happening anywhere in the world, in the 21st century??!

[@bananainvasion2655]

its common respect in chinese culture, people give gifts to anyone more important to them, not as bribery, but to show that they have put time into choosing a respectable gift and that they have given time and consideration to the person. and, especially in chinese culture, gifts are kind of a scam, if you give someone a 50$ gift they return a 50$ gift to you, and in the end you neither gave money nor recieved any

When has a politician in the Western democracies ever received a high jail sentence? Never, because they are all corrupt.. EU vice president, Eva Kaili is under investigation for corruption, she accepted like $600.000 USD from Qatar. If she goes to prison, it won't even be 1 year.. She probably won't even go to prison...

This corruption is not only affecting Chinese but has global implications as most of this ill-gotten wealth is used to buy prime real estate in Australia and Canada. It has pushed the house prices in Melbourne and Sydney to a level, where young Australians can't even think of buying a property especially near good schools, transport hubs or shopping centers. There have been cases when young Chinese students with no work history have offered to pay millions of dollars in cash upfront for a good location as they see it as the safest way to park the cash with no questions asked.

Democracy does not prevent corruptions. Democracy en-cultures a more sophisticated corruption. Corruption is a moral issue. Corruption can take many forms. Every system of government can have corruption being practiced because they are run by human beings. To err is human. It is human nature.

[@isabelg1729]

You are too pessimistic for me. Corruption is not an "error" committed by humans. It is the end result of societies designed by governments to maintain inequality so it favors the rich and those in power. This is all of them to some degree, without exception. The greater the inequality, the greater the corruption. Democracy exposes corruption, it doesn't prevent it nor does it fix it. Its value is in spreading awareness of it. It works. It seems in China people are quite aware of it in spite of all efforts to keep them from being so. But then again, that in itself is proof that something is rotten in the state of Denmark. The people in the village, the mayor .... this is what human beings are made of. We shine even in the direst of situations and we are a lot smarter than they think we are.

In UK during the Covid19 the health minister using his pub mate as introduce where to buy ppe for the NHS pocketed 16milions pounds. The UK did nothing about it. For 16milions it would take many generations to making that amounts. I did donated 5000 ppe to hospital. Which I paid for import into uk during Covid19. Nevertheless I could had introduce where to import ppe for FREE.

I am not particularly sympathetic to their plight in the face of corruption, I am more concerned about their superstition based gluttony for endangered Rhinoceros Horn, Tigers Penises, and the unchecked consumption of wild caught meat, the trade in which has no disease controls and as the World has already experienced, it poses unacceptable risks of outbreaks of virulent diseases.

Auditing government officials/ party members and their families assets will go a long way to stamp out corruption,,,ie give peeps a choice between having financial or political power but not both and if anyone steps out of line... be ruthless, public and frightening.

Oh i was so confused. This says this video is one years old but in the description it says it was filmed in 2014. I was wondering why there were people in the streets protesting and why you guys were allowed to film with cameras out at all. I figured this had to have been before they turned into such a big brother state lol

[@sim-lengyeoh5258]

All this happened before Xi came into power and he realises that if corruption not crushed his regime will not last long and impossible for China to be a super power . The turnout of events proves his great foresight ! Today China has emerged with great resilience, thanks to Xi's untiring efforts.

[@davidmarjason4222]

It's impossible for china to be a super power for long. The key word 'long because their one child policy had completely messed up the whole society family structure. Most families now a days in China much prefer to only have 1 child instead of two. By the year 2100, china population will be half, meaning around 700million people will left, with a high increase of older people over the age of 65. Who will take care of them? it definitely won't be the state, it will be the tax payers. If the working population is gone, who else will pay into the system? There will eventually be a collapse in communist china like how america is in its decline right now.

China's new prosperity brought a lot of corruption, and Xi is working hard to end that. Unfortunately, the United States also has a lot of corruption, but we think people have a right to become millionaires and billionaires, even though the fluidity they are tying up is needed for communal projects. But USA can't think that way. So we talk about other people's corruption.

And here we all are on the outside looking in, consumed with pointing out littlest criticisms rather than validating hard-earned achievements. Look see we all knew their dams were going to fail and tofu construction catastrophically topple over. Sounds more like a capitalist country to me. North korea is looking better by the minute. Wow a country that enslaves the minds of it own people. Elected officials More hypocrites than Politicians. No wonder they got to keep up with the game, one bad move and it's the french revolution all over again.. Lack of self-inspiration, no wonder forced reversed engineering considered morally just. No wonder people of communist countries forget how to smile.

[@zhihaoge5872]

Everything looks real, aside from the fact that it all comes from 10 years ago. It's not a smart thing to assess China with datas from 10 years ago, cuz that's like assuming the country hasn't developed at all in a decade. After all, China is not like any ordinary western nation, which really hasn't see any developments since probably the 2000. Ask yourself the question: if China is really is corrupt and at the brink of collapse, why is it still developing, till the point where even the US is fearing it in a paranoid manner?

[@eternalobi]

Also the west doesn't really want China to become a less corrupt country That means China is even more of threatening adversary to them.
