We're more corrupt than China? We're more corrupt than North Korea? We're more corrupt than Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Turkmenistan, Somalia, Cuba, etc? Really?
I saw this posted on an urban website, and the majority of people, Americans themselves, we're AGREEING with him. Leftists have succeeded in getting many Americans to dislike their own country and the documents it was founded on. I don't get it. If I thought I was living in the most corrupt country in the world, I'd hightail it out of there, but these people stay and complain.
Another anti-American who is proud to make money in America and, in his case, HIDE in America. (Per the article: In the same interview, he said that he was bullied by Hong Kong triads and had to hide in the United States. He also said he needed to carry a gun everyday to protect himself, leading to a police investigation.)
Then you should have no problem returning all of the ‘corrupt’ money that you made in ‘the most corrupt country in the world’, Jackie.
I think he still holds a grudge about being cast as a Japanese in one of those “gumball/cannonball” films.
He’s wrong because it’s anti American rhetoric aimed at America’s role in the world.
However, the biggest unreported story in America is massive corruption, mostly by democrats. Also by immigrants from cultures in which lying and corruption are endemic.
You think drug violence in cities isn’t tolerated because of massive payoffs? Protecting 20 million illegals is corruption, as is the related voter fraud. Huge shifts of public money to unions and “green companies” is corrupt. These people are all selling out America big time and no one dares mention it- because they will silence you any way they must.
One of the small (very small) pleasures of what the future holds in store for the hate-America-first crowd will be watching them find out what real corruption and oppression is once they get their socialist/fascist paradise.
Rather ludicrous to state America is the most corrupt, with all that goes on elsewhere. Good grief, look at China!
But America is indeed a shadow of what it once was, and is wallowing in corruption... from Obama’s billions of ‘porkulus’ payoffs to political cronies, to the burgeoning illegals’ sub-culture and sanctuary cities. The culture has decayed, and the country has become a morally bankrupt sewer.
Washington DC in general is corrupt. The Hussein regime is corrupt. I hail from one of the three top corrupt states government-wise.
The academic world is largely intellectually corrupt. The entertainment industry is hypocritically corrupt. The media is riddled with anti-American corruption. Various religious denominations have become morally corrupt. Many sycophantic military chiefs have become politically corrupt.
A disclaimer, of course, is that my observations do not condemn ALL members of the above instutions in a blanket appellation of corruption. I can only comment that one is hard-pressed to name an institution in this country that is not fully or partially corrupted or is not the target of evil people seeking to corrupt it.
On the other hand, if I were a personage of note, I would never bad-mouth my country publicly....not only for patriotic reasons, but why would I want to bite the hand that rewards me so fabulously !

If he is talking about day-to-day corruption, bribing minor officials, etc, this is an absurd comment coming from Chan.
If he is talking about the corruption of law and human rights, this is even more absurd.
However, if he is talking about high-level corruption: Voter fraud, union payoffs, official lies about major international incidents, media complicity in lies and coverups, then America is the number one corrupt nation in the world.... having wrested that title from the former Soviet Union.
The reality is, American media has been and is getting to be the most corrupt in the world. Our government information and news is fully controlled by the Obama government. Benghazi is the most corrupt coverup of an event in this country, and everyone knows it. The POTUS literally defies we the people by ignoring our representatives. Yes Chan might have a point.
How ironical that a Chinese guy says America is more corrupt. From what I read about Google’s dealings with the Chinese government, China is VERY corrupt and it is merely accepted as “normal.”
That's pretty damn corrupt.
He’s right, we are now the most corrupt country ever. Just go to the District of Corruption and find out.
Pray for America
Maybe Jackie has spent too much time in DC and Hollyweird.
Corruption is the natural product of a mixed economy with its pragmatism, political eclecticism, and pressure group warfare and special interest group warfare.
He’s correct. The corrupt governments in this country are sending the world into a new Dark Ages.
He’s never gotten any of my money, unless he’s part of some tax subsidy scheme.
Certainly ONE of the top 5 .
