Politics....... REAL high level ones

Finally Mr China is going back home soon. Finally.

Today on the way to work , he had a discussion with his Chinese counterpart, LL. They discussed abt the random and common corruption in state run companies or the government. Mr China asked LL if his wife is working, as LL mentioned that she gets up v early to make breakfast. Mr China rems that she is working at a local bank, and with the household chores, she would have been a superwoman.

LL's reply was superbly shocking, well, she is on MC for 2mths. She had bought the MC and is staying at home to look after the kids. The more shocking thing is the matter of fact way that he presented the issue. It seem all possible , all right and common. After Mr China probe more, LL said it is so common, even more so at govt agencies where some people do not even appear at all. His wife's colleague is on 6mths MC..... hahaha...

More discussion reveals that bribes , under table money have to be given during festive seasons to ensure biz proceeds smoothly. All the authorities, various depts that needs to "check" your company, they all have to be treated well. No wonder those govt pple are looking like pigs.

Reaching office, Mr China turns on the computer for some homeland news to discover that his PM and fearless leader had just received 20% pay rise, having annual income of millions!!!! I wonder who is his boss that is so generous, i wonder how is his performance being judged? Are the homelanders getting more happy? Is the general public approving this move to pay himself more , and by 20% !!!!!!!!!

Now Mr CHina finds an eerie similarity btw the 2 incidents, both cases, both involves govt officials, "the smart asses that is suppose to lead and serve the pple", and their means to increase personal wealth. In the China way, it is through unknown means, making life difficult for biz pple like Mr China. In homeland way, it is open declaration, public glorification that our leaders are the smartest around and command the high pay. That way, it drains national resources and makes life difficult for Mr China too.

What is the differences? it seems that all roads lead to Rome here... haha.. Let Mr China draw an analogy:

In a deprived and controlled village where no one is allowed to eat much meat. The controlling authorities go up to a poor villager and ask for favour in order to allow her to continue her biz. The authorities thus got away with a chicken.

In another similar village. The controlling authorities stands in the village centre and declares himself supreme leader and smartest ass of all, backing it up with impressive numbers and terms that confuses everyone. In the end, he mentions the need for him to eat more chickens to substain his smart ass, if not , a brain drain occurs and he cant serve pple as well.
The authorities thus, got away with a year's supply of chicken to prevent his smart ass drain and also "corruption", keeping him fed with chickens ensure that he will not resort to the above method to get his chicken.

In both cases, authorities got the chicken. Wat is the differences?

Mr China begins to ponder on things that are deemed legal and illegal, who determines them? personal determination, morale judgment, social norms or Government stated. Anything is legal or illegal had to be drawn by the government.

In the above comparison, Mr China do not see any difference, the impulse is the same, the end is the same, but the methods are different. " Open corruption prevents dark corruption?"
