in my opinion corruption is rampant in china but then things are looking better these days.\n\ncorruption results when you trust less number of people with unquestionable authority but now as the chinese government is introducing more and more reforms things have started improving.

hi... am not much into facts but all i can give u is an overview.\nchina has one of the most skilled labor force in the world, and because of the sheer numbers, chinese labor is cheap.\ndue to the communist govt. everything is still very controlled.which is in a way good till the economy has achieved a safe growth rate. but on the flip side there are arguments that due to the lack of transparency, the facts could not be the best representations of the true picture.\nmore FDI (foreign direct investment) is pouring into China.\nnow that there is a big stress on learning english as a language, things are looking better.\nall in all, China is a very big economic force to reckon with.\nplease feel free to send me ur views as well....

Hope this is not too late\n\nIt's fascinating - went from an imperial government to republic, lots of corruption, then to communist, famine, cultural revolution, then a little bit capital with the opening of the economy, more corrupt, and now the country is pretty stable.\n\nMillions upon millions of people died, values changed, people became selfless (when the govt promoted a man called Lei Feng) and now adays it's every man for himself no matter what happens to everyone else.

Look at China, is it really a better place?  Didn't think so.

An Asian police state?  No, China's government is in a state of flux.  Right now,  China's society seems to be stratified; there isn't much middle ground between the haves and the have nots.  The government is designed to provide for the have nots, but the power of big businesses (from outside investment) is something the government currently can't check.  In time, the government will obtain the resources to correct this imbalance.  China has no intention of subjugating its people, if that's what you mean.

It is too hard to tell right now, but that does seem to be a good guess at this point.  Their economy is growing at an insane rate and their population makes the US look like a small village.\n\nOne problem for China though is the unity of the people.  From what I have heard, many of the Chinese in rural areas and in certain sections of the country do not feel a strong attachment to the government, and some even want independence.  The repressive government is also not helping matters.  With such a large area and so many people it is very difficult to maintain unity.\n\nIt will be interesting to see what happens, but I hope if the future does belong to China that it will be accompanied by rational and democratic reforms and an overhaul of their human rights policies (or lack of).

Its possible, China's record on human rights is appalling.  The trade in human organs has been happening for years I'm afraid to say.  Often its impoverished locals who are persuaded to sell their organs to tourists who come to the country for transplant.  It happens in India so it may well be happening in China too.

I have been in Moscow and i saw that they were more powerful when they have a communist regime.They had an unity.I am looking at China and they are very powerful too.\n\nSo, i think communism is not bad.

Corruption is when you're in a public office, or you run a company, and someone gives you money to do things that aren't in the company's or in the public's best interest...\nsay you run company X, and you want Sen. Somebody to vote for something that will give you more profits...so you hand him a big suitcase full of money, and he votes in your favor. That's an example of corruption...another kind of corruption is like in Mexico where the police take payola for letting you drive down the road...or else.\n\nCorruption tends to drive countries DOWN, not up, economically. Argentina fell apart because of corruption, they went broke.

You can never eliminate it completely.\n\nThe keys to reduce corruption are transparency, liberty, democracy, and reduction of beaureucratic impediments to enterprise.  As with all thing, eternal vigilance and resposibility are key as well.

There is graft and corruption in all countries.  That's human nature.\n\nThe question is, what can we do to minimize it?

Corruption occurs everywhere, even in health system.The source of corruption is poverty, mentality (in some cultures it is something inborn and it is viewed as just a way to say thanks for the service. bureaucracy is another source of corruption, people prefer to pay instead of running from one clerk to another one.In media corruption has another form people just buy media corporations(e.g Berlusconi (Italian prime minister)bought several media companies, just to promote his personally and to hide his crimes)

china is not better than any other country.  however, google still wants to be used by the millions of people in china living under a communist form of goverment.  so in order for google to benifet, they must make some changes.

no, china is still exectuting people, and lots of Europeans are travelling there to buy organs.  Because the orgens cost so much money, and there is a big demand for them, there is no way of knowing if the chinese are executing people too early (ie if their trial has finished)or if they will execute someone just for the money.  Its a sick situation.

It really depends on which part of China. Not all Chinese hospital are unsterilized, dirty, dangerous. Many of them, in fact, are brilliant. Just because there are a bunch of unauthorized dirty hospitals, and "hospitals run by the Chinese" is stereotyped into that.\nMost hospitals in big cities in China are up-to-standard, unless they are operated by some money-snatching people too bothered with making money and not bothered with people's lives. In that case, I'm afraid they won't need your help. For more rural places, the condition would be worse. However, if you're not Chinese-speaking, you might find it a bit difficult to communicate with the people there. (Honest, even doctors can be terrible at English - some doctors in rural villages may not have professional training) That said, if you can be there to help them it would be great. In fact, you can try contacting Medecins Sans Frontieres. I know that they often have missions to the more rural areas of China, and they welcome all kinds of help.

The country is still totally controlled by the Communist Party of China, which is the central government.  Individual provinces have their own governments, controlled by party members.\nBut economically, capitalism has been allowed to flourish, bringing prosperity to the country which communism failed to do.  The first people to benefit from this are the Communists - very ironically, the sworn opponents of capitalism!  Hopefully, however, the centralisation of power and national planning will channel this new money the right way.  The government has just announced it's latest 5-year plan for the rural (agricultural) sector (most Chinese are still down on the farm, and poor).  All agricultural taxes have been abolished and many measures will be taken to help the farmers. One wishes them every success in this worthwhile endeavour.
