we actually did something about it

What do you think China is doing now?

Arresting one man instead of changing the system that lead to his corruption in the first place. Classic.

China has actually been doing a mass anti corruption campaign for about a decade to root out corruption throughout the country; this guy is just the latest guy to get prosecuted.

Cool, but an anti corruption campaign is meaningless without democracy. Call me when Xi can be voted out.

ahh but the system that legalizes corruption and bribery -- that's ok and doesn't need changing because it protects your interests.
