Bribery in China: The reporting of U.S. agencies on cases of

corruption in China and pressure from Internet users seems

to have embarrassed Beijing into a renewed crackdown.

The Beijing News, People's Republic of China

China Must Stop Relying on U.S. Justice to Halt Bribery

In this surprisingly self-critical article from China's state-controlled Xinjingbao [Beijing News], the author castigates the authorities for relying on foreign justice to identify graft - and for failing to pursue those who have taken bribes from American companies. Given the appearance of this article in the state-controlled press, one can assume that Beijing has been embarrassed into authorizing a renewed crackdown by disclosures from U.S. government agencies and Chinese Internet users.

Bribing and taking bribes have corresponding relationships; so how can one see the briber without the bribee? In the words of one Internet user, you can't pull out the radishes without bringing the mud with it. So who exactly is the bribee?  

The chief officer at the Ministry of Public Security's Transportation Management and Science Research Institute has responded to allegations of bribery with the following, "The magnate of the adhesive glue industry, Avery Dennison, admits to bribing the Wuxi Public Security Bureau." The institute says it assigned staff specifically to conduct a detailed understanding and investigation to "make sure that no one accepted gifts and that other related expenses did not occur." The chief officer also extended his thanks to the media and Internet users for their supervision and support. (People Daily, Aug. 12).
