Corruption is crushed in China, which helps explain its ongoing socio-economic success. The West is a lost-cause sewer. Part 2. China Rising Radio Sinoland 240626
Transcript (numbered list 1-48 with source hyperlinks below)
This is Jeff J. Brown China Rising Radio Sinoland Seek Truth from Facts Foundation, the China Writers Group, and the Bioweapon Truth Commission. This is the third installment that I have done tracking corruption being attacked in China. In March, I started actually, the first of this year, January 2024, I started collecting Western media articles about China fighting like hell to control corruption. And 90% of them are from South China Morning Post because if I got into the Chinese media in Chinese in Mandarin, I mean, it would be like a full-time job, because at the local level and the provincial level, I mean, it’s going crazy.
And I would have to translate all that and I just don’t have time to do it. But just what the South China Morning Post and a few others on Twitter that I have found are reporting is absolutely mind-boggling. When you look at the Western world (the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand), we are so used to corruption. We just accept it. We know that our Congress people and our representatives, legislatures, and judges, we know they’re corrupt. You can just see the results. We know the White House is corrupt and we know that Ten Downing Street is corrupt. We know that the president in France is corrupt.
And we just take it. And of course, Brussels, the European Commission, and the European Parliament are some of the biggest open sewers in the world. And so, when you see what China is working at, I mean, 24/7 to control corruption, it’s encouraging that it can be done, but it just depends on who owns the political process. In the West, the political process is owned by the deep state, the banksters, the military, the big medical-industrial firmament industry, the CIA, all the intelligence organs, etc.
So, in China, the political process is owned by the people through the Communist Party of China, which makes sure that everything is being done honestly. So, I’m just going to go quickly through. I did 30 in March, and then I did another 12 in June, and just in the last since June, in the last, what, four months, five months, I have another 48. It’s just unbelievable. And these are not these are not low-level people. These are high-level people. And it’s just amazing. I have the posts here for the previous two articles if you’d like to go through them.
Number 1: Senior official with China’s new financial regulator targeted in corruption probe just a week into the job. China is really working hard at fighting financial crime because they realize it has a multiplier effect through the system. And they have nabbed 20 major industry figures in the first four months of 2024. How many people are on Wall Street, the City of London, and how many people are in France’s and Germany’s and Japan’s stock markets? How many of them have been arrested or are in jail? I sure know in the United States and France, and it’s just unheard of.
Number 2: How China’s latest government overhaul is shaping up. The Chinese Communist Party because of all the outside ties the NATO with Taiwan and then also using the Philippines and then also trying to use Hong Kong still trying to use Xinjiang. All this outside pressure on China is forcing the Communist Party of China to take greater control just because they’re at war. They are at war. And in this article number two, this article mentions fighting financial corruption five times.
Number 3: China adjusts added value accounting to mitigate data manipulation and clean up GDP statistics. Everybody knows in the West that employment inflation debt figures anything that can discredit the government and the people that control it are skewed to look a lot better than the actual reality. I think a guy named John Williams has a website called Shadow Debt and/or Shadow No Shadow Stats. That’s right shadow stats. And he said if the unemployment rate in the United States, they say it’s 4%, it’s actually 8%.
If the inflation rate is 5%, it’s actually 10%. You can almost double everything in the negative direction. And China realizes that if they are going to stay ahead of the game and be competitive, they have got to have accurate statistics. And so, they are actually going after people who are fudging numbers to look good. This would be especially down at the regional provincial county levels.
Number 4: China’s corruption watchdog targets the agricultural minister. This is like going after the secretary of Agriculture in the United States. The Secretary of State. I mean, you can’t get much higher other than the vice president or the president. It’s just unbelievable.
Number 5: Dozens of China’s state regulators, bankers, financial finance bosses, and corruption net as crackdown stepped up in New Year. They said back in January they were going after medical fraud, especially financial fraud. And so more than 30 senior figures netted in the first five months of the year. And this is because Xi Jinping talks about China needing to be a financial superpower and you can’t be a financial superpower if your financial system is knee-deep or neck-deep in corruption. A former vice president of the Agricultural Bank of China, which is one of the four biggest banks in the world, by the way, including him. So, they’re going after a lot of guys and gals who are corrupt.
Number 6: Chinese lawyers accuse court officials of interfering in trials and slam blatant sabotage of the legal system. This is really interesting. They actually somebody saw on a screen, a computer screen in a courtroom where the judge was getting orders about what to do or what to say, and they actually filmed it. And the fact that this is all over social media tells me that the government wants this kind of judicial corruption cleaned up, too. Of course, there are no clean judiciaries anywhere in the world, especially in the West. And it’s the independent judges, they don’t exist anywhere in the world. China at least admits that but they’re still trying to clean up the corruption as they find it.
Number 7: Chinese police bust $1.9 billion US dollar tether underground banking racket. Tether is a digital currency like Bitcoin that is tied to the US dollar and they went after two huge underground operations. The authorities destroyed two underground operations in Fujian and Hunan, and the police also froze 149 million yuan worth $20 million linked to the USDT banking operations.
Number 8: China jails the former Three Gorges Dam for life for taking bribes. So, the guy who was managing Three Gorges, the largest hydroelectric project in the world got a life sentence for taking bribes. Wouldn’t you like to see Jamie Dimon and all these other financial thugs and mafia men in the West go to jail like that?
Number 9: China’s Yangtze River, the biggest freshwater lakes, Poyang and Dongting are at risk as fishing, sand mining bans are flouted. In other words, they have all these environmental laws that are being flouted and it doesn’t have to always be money. It can just be not following the law. And so, they are going after all the people involved who are not obeying China’s environmental laws on the Yangtze River, which they are trying to keep clean.
Number 10: China hands rare death sentence to a former senior banker for taking $151 million in bribes. Obviously, these are always in RMB nationally but internationally the South China Morning Post always converts it over to US dollars. Former manager Bai Tianhui is the second China Hua Xiong, which was an investment banking company to receive the ultimate penalty after his former boss was executed in 2021. So, they gave the capital punishment to a financial crook. And now these guys are spending life in prison. They need to go to Wall Street in the City of London and Paris and Berlin and do the same thing.
Number 11: China’s former sports minister is the latest high-profile figure to be targeted in a corruption probe. China does have a real problem with corruption in football, soccer, and basketball, and they are really working hard to try to get rid of all of the crooks in the sporting world that do not affect international sports like the Olympics and world sporting events. This is strictly basketball, national basketball, and soccer.
Number 12: China’s securities watchdog imposes a record fine on Evergrande for fraud. I think several billion.
SORRY, DUPLICATE OF NO. 7: 13-Chinese police bust $1.9B USDT underground banking racket
Number 14: In a first China accuses former defense ministers of corruption. So here are two high-level defense ministers who are now under arrest. And they were actually in the Politburo, which is like the presidential cabinet. And they’re going down.
Number 15: Although now with my doubled up on 13, I guess I’m just going to leave it because it’s just going to be too difficult. All right. So, we’ll just leave it. It’s been in there twice. Yeah. China deports US suspected child sex abuser and law enforcement push to improve ties. China works really hard with Interpol. In fact, I think the current director of Interpol is Chinese. And they are really working hard with countries all over the world where they have extradition treaties. And this American is going back to the United States for child sex abuse. And in return, two fugitives from the United States were sent back to China.
Number 16: Cooking oil scandal May prompt China to tighten food safety policies. Observers say this is where oil tankers trucks like trucks you see on the highway carrying oil. Well, they would carry a load of petroleum oil, and then they would not properly clean them out, and then they would fill it up with vegetable oil and they got busted. And I think there was one further down where this outraged the public.
And of course, they don’t want to do it because it costs money, and being capitalists these trucking companies, they were cutting corners and endangering the lives of the people. I suspect some heads may roll on this one because this is about food security and the Chinese don’t do not muck around with food security.
Number 17: China’s Communist Party expels Ex-defense ministers over corruption charges. So, I think that the two that I just mentioned above were kicked out of the party. So, they’re disgraced for the rest of their lives and they’ll probably be in jail for the rest of their lives.
Number 18: China launches high-level probe after paper says fuel tankers used to carry cooking oil again. Now they’re going to tear up that industry and some heads are going to roll because now we’re talking about people’s health.
Number 19: China’s key small and medium enterprises urged to report improper fines fees as Beijing seeks to ease hardships. So, they’re telling small and medium enterprises, if you have been confronted with people trying to illegally find them or charge them fees, which is basically bribery or extortion, Beijing wants to know about it and they’re going to go after them and they will.
Number 20: Police across China crackdown on illegal online gambling cases aimed at ongoing Euro 2024. Gambling is illegal in China and they really work hard at trying to crack down on it. And, the penalties for being caught in gambling especially if you’re a bookie or providing the service are extremely high. The penalties are very, very onerous.
Number 21: Chinese firms court ordering the illegal pregnancy tests for female job seekers. Well, this is corruption. There are Chinese companies are asking women who are applying for jobs to take pregnancy tests so that if they’re pregnant, they won’t hire them because China has really good maternity benefits that got exposed. That’s going to get cleaned up really fast. Again, this social health-related the Chinese public just will not put up with it.
Number 22: Two Chinese military men are removed from their positions and arrested for corruption. Again, it just goes on and on.
Number 23: Ex-Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang loses his seat at a party top table may escape punishment. This was the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was nominated and elected after the last five-year plan I think it was in March, and it wasn’t very long after they found out that he had had an affair and a love baby when he was ambassador in the United States he had a love baby with a very famous reporter, female tele-journalist.
And so, he is now out of the party, and now it’s okay. He got caught screwing around. He screwed up. But it didn’t involve money. It was just a disgrace for him and the party that he probably will not be too badly punished.
Number 24: China’s Communist Party eyes cross-border bribery law to fill Audiophile anti-corruption gaps. Again, they are trying to go after people who have fled the country when they’ve been charged with bribery and they’re working with other countries to do that. So, they’re not only kicking ass in the country, they’re working hard with other countries. Quid pro quo. We’ll get you this guy that you’re looking for if you’ll give us this guy.
Number 25: China’s former Hainan party chief faces. You know, Hainan is like a huge island off the coast of southern China between China and North Vietnam. I should say northern Vietnam and massive. And so, it’s like taking down a governor of a state in the United States or taking down a provincial representative here in France never happens.
Number 26: 41 provincial and ministerial level officials investigated in China in the first half of 2024. Again, 41 provincial and ministerial level officials. Can you imagine that in the West? I can’t either.
Number 27: China’s anti-corruption squads target funeral officials making a killing from the dead. And so, they’re going again, social issues really upset the Chinese. A health issue, health crime, social crime like this, and multiple funeral parlors have come under investigation. And a state-run industry with a reputation for opaque pricing. So, they’re gouging the customers and they are going to go after them and get that cleaned up.
Number 28: is why XI Jinping’s crusade against corruption in the military is far from over. When he took over as a Central Military Commission leader in 2012, the corruption was really, really bad. I’ve written about this in my books and in other articles, and he has really, really cleaned it up. As he has said from the very beginning, he knows that if China cannot keep corruption under control, the country has no chance of surviving. And so that’s why they are just going after it. I mean, he just has not let the foot off the pedal since he became president party secretary, and Central Military Commission leader. Now, 14 years ago,
Number 29: The criminal network stole over 4000 corpses. Oh, God. The thieves allegedly used the bodies to produce biomaterials such as bone grafts. Man, when they try those guys, I predict a PLA bullet in the back of the head for these guys. Oh, God. I read the public is just absolutely outraged because ancestors and ancestors worshipped and respecting the dead and respecting the members of your family going back generations and they were stealing corpses.
Number 30: The former vice chairman of the Guizhou provincial committee was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for abuse of power and taking bribes worth 60 million. Again, this guy is like a super high-level state-level, provincial-level person. He was sent with a two-year reprieve. What that means is, is they’re not going to kill him for another two years. And a lot of times with those, if the guy provides more information and divulges more information and helps in other investigations, etc., they will reduce that death penalty down to like life imprisonment. But those guys that were sentenced to death with no reprieve, they’re getting bullets in the back of the head if they haven’t already.
Number 31: Two more top Chinese football officials netted in corruption crackdown. Football and basketball are very corrupt in China, especially football. And they’re really, really working hard at trying to get it cleaned up.
Number 32: Chinese law enforcement agencies extradited a suspect from Thailand. Again, this is working with countries, other countries to get bad guys back and to get them punished and to pay their debts to society.
Number 33: The regional committee approved to a decision to expel a former Xinjiang deputy security chief. Again, this is down a little bit lower level. And they talk about it where a dozen officials have been investigated for corruption in recent years. These kinds of articles. Oh, gosh, I forgot the hyperlink. I’ll have to go back and get that. Anyway, it was off a tweet. I’m pretty sure it was a tweet. And so, this kind at this level, I could spend my 40 hours a week tracking all these in Chinese, but this one was on Twitter from a Chinese account and had it translated into English because I just don’t have time to go through and translate stuff in Chinese, that’s for sure. So, I do need to get the hyperlink for that
Number 34: In March, Dou Wangui – Ma’s former boss. So, the guy above in Xinjiang was placed under investigation for graft. And so, they find a vein of corruption, and they just go in and just root it out. And this link here I said see the last two paragraphs.
Number 35: Here we go. Later on in the year, arrests and fines in the fallout from China’s cooking oil scandal. A team led by the State Council and the State Council is like again, the president’s cabinet food. Safety body says perpetrators were, quote, trampling on the bottom line of morality and the red line of the law. Oh, there’s going to be some people that are going to pay big for that.
Number 36: China intensifies crackdown on medical insurance fraud. It’s the same problem all over the world. You know, if a medical vendor can get a reimbursement from the government or from an insurance company illegally, they’re going to try it. Insurance fraud is just medical insurance fraud all over the world is a massive problem. And it’s also a problem in China. That’s in medical and financial is what they are really going down on.
Number 37: China is intensifying its crackdown on criminal networks involving medical insurance. Again, authorities seized nearly 30 tons of medication illegally obtained by a gang that was selling the drugs to merchants at a higher price. I wouldn’t want to be one of the guys that got caught for that one.
Number 38: China’s Communist Party brings in new rules to regulate faith, loyalty, and performance. This is not so much corruption, but it’s just they realize that even a stalwart party member can become corrupted. And so, they’re just going back and going through the whole process of educating party members to toe the line, do the right thing, and not get caught up in any kind of criminal activity. Although compared to the West, it’s really not much. But when you have 1.4 billion people and almost 100 million Chinese Communist Party members you know, it’s going to happen.
Number 39: China places former chairman of topped aircraft maker AVIC under investigation. So obviously, thinking about what’s going on with Boeing right now and even Airbus in Europe, there are a lot of questions about them cutting corners on safety also.
Number 40: Here’s a deputy general manager of a private security company who defected to the United States and has been repatriated.
Number 41: China to enforce up to a ten-year ban on Ex-regulars investing in new stock offerings. So here you go. They’re trying to stop corruption before it starts. If you were a former regulator in the financial sector, they are going to make sure that you cannot invest in any new stock offerings until ten years have run out because a lot of Chinese are upset about a shenanigan going on in the financial industry.
Number 42: China kindergarten principal fired for accepting chocolate gift worth less than $1 sues school. This was an interesting article because two really control corruption. The law states teachers are not to take any gifts from students or parents because in. I mean when I was a kid, you’d give an apple or a little chocolate or a Merry Christmas card or whatever which was innocuous, but unfortunately in very competitive scholastically competitive China, parents were literally giving too nice of gifts to teachers to try to basically bribe them into making sure that their child got good grades.
Well, this teacher got a piece of little candy from like a seven-year-old, I think it was. And it was worth like $0.14 or 14 US cents and they fired her because the law’s the law. However, she took it to court and the first judge ruled that that was too much. We realize it’s not black and white. There’s a gray area. If a grade-schooler gives a teacher a piece of candy that’s just part of being a teacher and a student. But it’s really interesting because once this kind of stuff gets on social media, then the government is on the hook to make sure that the people know that the right thing was done to mitigate the situation.
Number 43: The Chinese Football Association announced on Tuesday that 38 professional players and five club officials have been banned for life for gambling and match-fixing. Again, this has nothing to do with international. This is all just the national team. Well, a provincial city like Shenzhen has a team and then Guangzhou has a team, etc.
Number 44: China targets new money laundering risks, including cryptocurrencies. China is very, very concerned about Bitcoin-type currencies because of their ability to corrupt the financial system. And also because bitcoin-type currencies are massively used for money laundering. They are going after those people to make sure with seven types of offenses are listed. So, they do this, they print this, they publish it. It’s posted. People can criticize it, make recommendations, and then they will finally go to the National People’s Congress and pass a law. So, this is targeting new laws. So, the law hasn’t been passed. So, they’ve publicized they published what they want to do. And then it’s the Chinese people who decide what goes into the laws. And again, not Wall Street, the City of London the Departments of Defense, and the pharmament industries in the West.
Number 45: China detains investment bankers, takes passports, and corrupts and corruption sweep. Imagine going after investment bankers in the West. Ain’t going to happen. And in fact, they kept their salaries and benefit packages. So, anybody working there’s 8700 investment bankers in China. And they were just told they couldn’t make it. They can’t make millions of dollars a year. I think it’s something like 400,000 is the equivalent. That’s all they can make a year plus a modest benefit package. My gosh, wouldn’t it be nice to live and work in a country that cares enough to do things like this?
Number 46: A Chinese court sentenced a former deputy general manager of the China National Petroleum Corporation to 14 years in prison. One of the biggest oil companies in the world. When was the last time a person in the energy industry in the West got arrested and sentenced?
Number 47: And then the last one, China arrested Former Commissioner for Counterterrorism of the Ministry of Public Security on corruption charges. Mr. Liu headed a task force investigating the 2011 Mekong Massacre and brought Myanmar drug lord Narkom to justice.
There was a Chinese blockbuster movie called Operation Mekong was based on him. He got his head too fat. He was widely seen as a hero back then. Too bad he couldn’t resist the temptation of corruption. So, there’s 48? Actually, only 47 since number 13 is a double. But I’m just going to leave it there to make sure that it’s easy to follow. Anyway, 46 and then before that 30 and then before that 12. So, what does that add up to 30 12 42 plus 47 what is that 89 something like that? Can you believe that? It’s just unbelievable. And these are high-level, powerful people who are paying the price for getting greedy.
