Yiwu, I've never ever thought the Chinese government wants to buy anybody in the US. In the US people bribe parties in order to gain some particular favour not doled out to others, a government contract, a TV or radio frequency, some non-investigation about tax matters or pollution etc. There are lots of individual favours around, nothing to do with foreign governments. The people who are doing the bribery of course don't have to be US citizens, so long as they are interested in some US govt. favour. It differs from crony capitalism in that the relationship isn't at all necessarily long term. Obviously Bush is only interested in such bribes to Democrats.
