Wooo when they do something in China, they do it quickly. I just saw a great article, on the fact that China has taken my advice and has made a New years resolution to weed out graft and corruption (article here). Well it is about time!
The article states that
"Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Friday announced the measures his government will take in the new year to check corruption, targeting in particular unnecessary red tape, collusion between officials and businessmen, extravagance and waste."
What a happy day, ever since the Olympics, the corruption has reached unprecedented levels, but now Mr. Wen has promised to do something. I guess he doesn’t want 2010 to be the same. Doesn’t want the theft of land from farmers as the wealthy get richer, poison the country and move to the UK, Australia and the states…. wait a minute, let me check something.
Shit! that was an old article from 2007. Um sorry, I guess, well um, I guess they didn’t take my advice. And well, what can we say.. From the looks of it, its just as well they didn’t take my advice. Look at all the good that the 07 new years resolution did….
status quo’ing in China
