Bruce Sterling on China. Andrew rightly smacked me around a bit in the comments the last time I posted on China, so it's gratifying to see Bruce concerned about corruption in China, too.
Here's the sixty-four dollar question: is corruption in China worse than in Singapore? I understand that Singapore is crony-ridden but not bribe-crazy, which seems to be just clean enough for prosperity. Singapore's per capita GDP is higher than that of South Korea or Taiwan, but lower than Hong Kong's.
Good gravy. The door hinge on The Good Thing broke. The bolts on the lower hinge sheared off.
That doesn't normally happen to normal cars.
So add that to the "bad" list.
