Corrupt China: The Secrets Behind the State | Xi Jinping Government Corruption Documentary

When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.”

It's more than admirable the utter courage of those Chinese journalists, as well as ordinary citizens, who face immediate repression for so openly exposing what's really been "a way of life" for the majority of Chinese officials (but also for the Chinese people in general, as a culture) for too long now. And I'm talking about expecting "gifts" from anybody, as a form of doing business/administering a place.. Is there any valid logic for that happening anywhere in the world, in the 21st century??!

The citizen journalist is a very brave man.

" There is no greater misfortune than greed." - Lao Tzu

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.“ - Lord Acton

Courageous man- if each city in China had a hundred like him, things would catch alight rapidly.

i'm a Chinese，i endorse what it is telling, very accurate

If you think that democracy will bring justice and less corruption you are very very wrong. Corruption comes from people not from the system itself.

Condolences to that mayor who end up in jail. And farmers whose land were taken.

This happened 10 years ago before Xi, and it is not in Xinjiang, it is happened in Xinxiang, Henan Province, middle China, 1000 km south of Beijing

"Absolute power means absolute corruption"

They should just call Bribery “Lobbying”, then it’s all good. 😊

Do a documentary on a country that is not corrupt. Impossible

Journalist is true hero, its very hard to be so courageous. I hope he continues his work.

You know what, in China, these seriously corrupt officials are eventually thrown into prison, but in the United States, it is legal for members of Congress to behave like Chinese corrupt officials.

This corruption is not only affecting Chinese but has global implications as most of this ill-gotten wealth is used to buy prime real estate in Australia and Canada. It has pushed the house prices in Melbourne and Sydney to a level, where young Australians can't even think of buying a property especially near good schools, transport hubs or shopping centers. There have been cases when young Chinese students with no work history have offered to pay millions of dollars in cash upfront for a good location as they see it as the safest way to park the cash with no questions asked.

This is just how China has always done things, for hundreds of years. We're still the relics of medieval times.

I really hope the mayor and the villagers got justice.

Excellent documentary… I worked and lived in Chine while all this played out and these records confirm my own experiences.

To think that China's current form of Communism is exactly this at its beginning.
