Q: Is corruption in China the same as the US led "war on drugs"?

Too many vested interests involved (money) for both to change anything?

  Yeh, I don't buy the war on corruption any more than I buy the war on drugs; it's just a bent copper with a roll of stolen money in his back pocket vowing to catch the thief. I did like Bill Hicks take on the war on drugs: back in the day when Bush declared that America was 'losing' the war on drugs, Hicks answered "So there's a war being fought! And people 'on drugs' are winning it!"

Fair point, I think you're correct Dude.

It is certainly the main thing holding China back (in my opinion of course), sort that one out the rest will follow.

You know what, I think that the war on drugs will end in my life time. There has been a great deal of motion on this on the state and local level through the approval of medical marijuana, which is intended to be to a way for pot smokers to smoke pot legally in the same way that a drunk would use a brown paper bag to get away with drinking in public. Eventually, politicians at the federal level are going to realize that there isn't a lot of down side in terms of votes to abandoning the war on drugs, and federal drug prosecutions will decrease dramatically as they cut funding to various bloated federal law enforcement institutions and rout that money back to local police departments. I'm not sure that the problem of corruption in government here in China will go away so easily or so quickly.

As far as I'm concerned anybody going into battle high on drugs has some serious cahoonas. Send them over here, it might work.

We tried that in Vietnam. Didn't work out too well.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
