Collis McKenzie, Chapter 13, Question 5

The quote from the Chinese student about corruption was interesting to me. When I was in China the tour guide told us about how before China had the economic reform in the 70s and 80s, the government was so corrupt that nothing could get done efficiently. He told us about how the government took houses from rich people and then gave it to a group of 7-10 families. That gave people a place to live, but it didn't change their conditions. If even after all this time and change China still suffers from government corruption, then it might be impossible to completely get rid of it because it has become a part of the culture.
