    Not to rain on anyone’s parade but China’s been punishing corrupt politicians for decades but it apparently doesn’t really seem to help much…

      It’s the same everywhere. If it’s illegal to do crime and people go to jail why is there still crime.

      Because they only punish them once they step out of their betters line. They sit on the evidence then use it once they can’t get anything out of them anymore.
