Corruption in China - wow

click on title for news piece
Well after the hoo- hah of Blunkett buying his mistress a train ticket via the Govt purse comes this little snippet - from China though.
All Govt officials must inform the authority if they have a bit on the side [as it were] . How the heck do you police that ?
It's part of drive to cut down on corruption. Apparently a mistress is quite a costly accessory , so if you tell your boss youre having extras they can keep a beady eye on you. Obviously they'll be queuing up to reveal what they're up to won't they ?

The interesting bit of the article is that getting on for a million ! officials were indicted for corruption last year !!!!!

Makes you wonder how many government officials there are in China doesn't it ? Scaling down pro rata that would mean if done in the UK 40,000 govt officials getting prosecuted. Presumably this is not just civil servants but govt employees, but even so , its a HUGE number .......
Makes you realise how corrupt China is !
I believe the death penalty can apply for corruption also .....
