    If my memory is right, there is a ICAC in HONGKONG. From a advertisement made by a goverment department, we know before ICAC was established, the corruption was very serious in HK, after set up the ICAC, the society become fair much. Do you remember the advertisement describing the little boy who sell apples beside the street.

    Corruption is everywhere, no matter how you do and what you do as long as we are human. Human nature does have greed and greed drives us into corruption. However not all are born to be like that. If we can curb corruption to the minimum whichever way we do, it is a success. Do something is better than nothing at all. Good luck, China.

    I agree, it´s a better way to fight against corruption, but this problem is very popular, and it is getting worse now, also hard to clear it up.......you can see it everywhere, so many people take the bribe, even a leader in charge of a small team, now most people get tired of bribing, but they still do the same thing everyday.... if someone doen´t take a bribe, they would feel upset. let me give you a example, many parents give money to teachers, it´s not cash, just put money to a bank account, most of teachers take a bribe without any nagative feeling, also they think it´s natural... don´t feel embarrassed, and in the opposite, if the teacher don´t take it, those parents would feel upset, worry too much, but they really hate to do that in heart. See!how strange is it? but it´s ture, this is a products of this advaced society.

    I really think this is a better way in China.on internet ,you can expose corruptions involed with higher officials with anonym.in old days,you have to write a letter or something,but as a result ,no one would deal with it in fear of his power.an old saying goes that ,officials protect officials.you can conclude that how difficult punishing those who committed a corruption is!I think the government could establish a special website to make citizens expose offical corruption scandles,and encourage people to supervise the government with a rising political recoganizition of taxpayers . in addition,more publicizition is needed to induct citizens do rationally and responsibly.
