Just finished watching the 18 hour documentary of the Vietnam war.
Painful.

In the U.S. almost no one gets prosecuted for corruption, except Leona Helmsley or Martha Stewart. They only got prosecuted because they were amateurs trying to get into the old boys game without being invited.

China used to sentence most "Capitalist-Roaders" to death and the rest to reeducation camps.

But Deng Xiaoping changed all that following Mao's death with his new "Socialism with Chinese characteristics"

Under Deng's system, China is run by the kleptocratic communist leadership who protect their unprincipled business partners and wheeler dealers so they can split their profits with the Party leaders. Ordinary Chinese citizens in the way are trampled and their property confiscated.

The Anbang Insurance company worth hundreds of Billions of Dollars is still owned by the Deng Xiaoping's family. A curious event for the family of a man who never earned more than $22,000 a year.

China is a nation run by an unelected mafia.

You know that already Jay, but you just won't say it publicly because living in Hong Kong you fear the consequences of saying it.
