Vietnam president resigns after Communist Party blames him for "violations and wrongdoings"

[beijingwalker]

No corruption in China is at a scale that is way beyond anything here...and poverty exacerbates it because poor people are easier to corrupt.

I remember people telling me about a story they were reading in a Chinese newspaper about how some town in China was given state money to build a new school and the local guy in charge pocketed it. When the state sent reps to see how the construction was going...he bribed them to shut up. When they later determined the reps did not give a good report the state sent more. Those new reps also were paid off. The state ended up forgetting about it until years later when a new person discovered the oversight and had people arrested (and likely executed).

You read some stories because corruption is punishable in China and people here expect the punishment being delivered quick and strong, whille in US the case is that corruption is institutionalized, people just live with it as a way of life.

Maybe this is why he demanded all officials to reveal their personal income and assets.

This guy is a pro western and american. VCP sack him to path way for full embrace of r/s with China. The anti-China party in Vietnam are slowly being rooted out.

Vietnam political system is not comparable to China. There is check and balance. There is no man no women with absolute power.

...and so what did this reveal about his own to the public?

Most of my bros say Phúc was a western sympathizer, this with the corruption charge bag him.
We will see more details when we see his replacement.

He did

He did

Um...if he did why aren't you posting it..

Here is Biden's:

Biden's tax return shows a $610,000 income in 2021

The first couple paid $150,439 in federal income taxes, a tax rate of 24.6% for 2021, well over the average of 14% for all Americans.

we are waiting...

You do know Xi can't post all of it..because if he posted all the true numbers people in China would be outraged at his actual income/wealth...if he fudges it then his future successors will point out the discrepancy and have his revered pictures taken down as being scandalous.

This is the situation a system of endemic corruption brings.

2012? 11 years ago? Is that the best the Chinese government can produce to show the people corruption isn't endemic?

Well apparently that Harvard tuition back then of about $250,000 helped knock his cash reserves down to $340,000.

Anyways I knew it would be impossible for him to post his real stats. I could see this obfuscation coming a mile away.

They don't have to report their income every year, very often they need to reveal their overall asset when taking a new position. but everyone knows those are just some numbers , very few people believe them, so China has disciplinary department whose full time job is to constantly investigate government officials of all levels.
