Thanks for letting me know about this sort of information. I have seen reports of this. The documents chronicle the adventures of 23 officials from the eastern city of Wenzhou during five days of a three-week trip that cost taxpayers $94,000, Xinhua reported. Their Communist Party committee has demanded repayment of all unapproved expenses.

Back in the 80's there seemed to be a never ending report about excesses in the US military. $500 for a hammer, $1000 for a toilet seat. The list seemed to be never ending. But one general stated that the fact the news reports of this came out was a good thing. Meaning that suppliers that overcharged the military was being exposed.

The report of abuses is a similarly good thing for China. And I expect to see more reports. Especially given how news travels so well on the internet.

In conclusion, I want to see corruption weeded out of China. Do you? Or do you just want to relish in it? There are many in China that want to expose this sort of corruption. And the reason is simple, a less corrupt China is a more prosperous and competitive China. And everyone IN China wants to see a more prosperous and competitive China. Many outside of China, merely want to relish in the corruption instead of seeing it weeded out. I suppose it's because they have nothing to gain by a more competitive China.
