Recently, an increasing number of Chinese officials are going to a temple and pray that their corruption are not exposed(Beijing, AFP) |
According to (Apr) 20th issue of The Epoch Times, Wu Chang-zhen(?), an expert in current 'Marriage Law' of China, announced the statistic that 95% of communist party officials, whose corruptions were exposed, had mistresses.
In particular, during the investigation of those involved in 102 corruption scandals in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai in 1,999, 100% of them had mistresses, which was a real shock.
Using a pretty woman as a 'bribe' rather than money is becoming a raging fashion, and officials believe that the number of mistresses is the reflection of one's 'clout.'

Using a pretty woman as a 'bribe' rather than money is becoming a raging fashion, and officials believe that the number of mistresses is the reflection of one's 'clout.'
These officials throw money on their mistresses to win their affection. To satisfy endless avarice of the women, they would use their power to conduct their corrupt enterprises in technically legal manner. It becomes a viscious cycle. The mistresses are, for the most part, street-smart, extravagant, and of low character. (In these cases,) The mistresses are willing accomplices to their 'master.'
Shady businessmen say that, to buy officials, a pretty woman is more effective than money.
Experts explain that the reason why 'sex transaction' is booming among Chinese officials is because the society mistakes these problems as the matter of morality or private life. There is no proper law in place to punish them. Furthermore, to boost their rating, Chinese medias tend to focus on the sexual escapade between the official and his mistress, instead of their corrupt activities.
Experts further elaborate that major enetertainment establishments maintain close contacts with most officials, and corrupt officials are responsible for prostitution outfits moving from underground operation to semi-official one, from individual outfits to huge organized outfits
