> earn it the approval of China's government – which abhors corruption

I wish people, especially news outlets, would stop parroting every Chinese government line like it's truth. It's not a democracy, there's no independent media, there's no independent judiciary, there's no checks and balances. The government can claim whatever they want and nobody in China can dispute anything they say publicly. It disappoints me greatly that so many western reporters and media companies accept and regurgitate the CCP's claims without criticism or any kind of analysis.

The CCP only "abhors" corruption when it's done by political opponents of those in power. This is clear because of their semi-regular "anti-corruption" drives, which coincidentally seem to happen just before important political decisions are made. If the system weren't intrinsically corrupt, why would they be needed, and how could they be such a frequent occurence?

Corruption as a feature? (when you want to be emperor, yes!)

It does not help that lots of big capitalist global corporations make bank on the CCP keeping a slave labor force for them while also providing mostly unregulated manufacturing sites with zero health and safety requirements, all for more profits.
