Part of the problem is that corruption and bribery are often not clearly defined until the police show up on your doorstep.

IMO, this is what's going to keep China from becoming a great country. The rule of law, while defined, is not evenly enforced. I suppose you could argue that this is the case in many developed countries but China's law enforcement is particularly jarring.

If it's Russia you're running away from, there's no where to hide. They will get you, either it be a hit man or by poison if you're an enemy of Putin, no Government can protect you. Russians believe that death should be either violent or slow and painful while the Chinese believe more in confession and 'reeducation'. Which would you pick?

I'd rather be dead than go through a Mao style confession and re-education, that can take decades with no guarantee of life let alone freedom at the end.

I'd at least get to keep my sanity and be denying the regime of a propaganda victory.
