When the pro-independence party in Taiwan started gaining steam, news about corruption of the leader of the party, Chen, surfaced as a scandal, striking a crucial blow to the independence movement in Taiwan.
When the more pro-democracy candidate for the Hong Kong Chief Executive position, Tang, became more popular than the candidate who in favor of tighter controls of demonstrations, a mysterious leak of an "underground palace" flashed around the globe, making the top 10 news list in many American and European newspapers. In fact, the so called palace was of the size of a large luxurious New York apartment. And after the defeat of the pro-democracy candidate, it became known that the victorious candidate had committed the same exact type of violation of housing regulation as the defeated candidate.
Now, at a crucial time when reformist and the disgraced Maoists are locked in a tight power struggle in China, once again, the pro-reform leader, albeit being more popular to be begin with, is featured in a high profile corruption scandal by a leak to the media in the west.
I hope that news reporters, though no doubt naive, start to wise up about this trend. Most of the time, the corruption or scandal occurs to a comparable, and possibly greater extent among the anti-reform politicians, but are not leaked.
There is a striking trend here.
It looks like Chinese in good position, close to power, having clout plus education, degrees are not so different than Americans in the Ivy League circles making billions. It shows though that given the opportunities these Chinese are formidable businessmen/women. American beware.

No doubt that the information is leaked by Wen's political enemies within the party. It must be a miracle that an investigator, as an American, can dig out such fruitful information without an high-hierarchy throat. Indeed, Wen has many faults but he is also only politician in China who acts as a western politician. And during the past years, he keeps evoking political reform for democracy. No matter if it is from his true thought or it's just a sort of temporal strategy, he is acting better than most politicians in China.Recom

At least he presided over a stable government and growing economy, unlike US business and political leaders who are similarly rewarded for abject failure. Considering his role and time as leader of the world's largest nation, is this so surprising?
I wonder if this is another case of directing public opinion like have happened all the time when the US wants to target an "enemy". Corruption exist everywhere and it's a wrong think to do. I wonder if this news is because China is challenging the petrodollar by not using dollars anymore.

We are pretty much the same... our political leadership invests heavily in market related opportunities. I myself did my time as a budget officer and saw the proliferation of P.C.'s throughout the government. Plus we had inter-agency connectivity... what would become the net. Who could not see that coming and with even small but steady investing, I myself have done quite well with my NASDAQ portfolio, heck Apple alone.
Anyway, with a presidential candidate worth possibly half a Billion and vested overseas, the more important function is to know where we are headed with this new, universal mega-wealth.
