We do have our share (and more) of corruption. China is not exactly free from it. Your trying to bash Indian corruption is really funny. China is one of the most corrupt societies in the world, with people needing to bribe even to have kids.
Only your opaque, all controlling CCP doesn't let out the truth as happens in open societies.
It is well known that 75% of exports from China are from foreign companies, a figure that rises to 85% and above for "high technology" items like assembling ipads, computers, laptops and others that the West has stopped doing.
The arrogance on the part of so many of you doesn't fool anyone.
bribe to have kids? where did you hear that, TOIlet?
you are talking about exports, but do you think that Chinese internal market does not consume anything? that there's no high tech in China, only for export? What's the biggest internet population in the world for?
Did you just read the Wikipedia article on electronics industry of China? Come on, you need to do more research than Wikipedia.

Misunderstood me... there is no problem with opportunity.Education in high school and medical facilities are provided for free,and scholarships are provided to poor students in institutions of higher education.The problem is with reaching out to the people.It may be hard to understand but then it becomes increasingly difficult with a billion population.
So far as corruption is concerned,again I will say,much better than what we used to have in the 80s.The media has played a significant role here.
Your statement about manufacturing electronic goods is not entirely true though.Many South Korean and US based companies have production bases in China,since it is cheaper to manufacture goods their.Contract manufacturers like Foxconn take contracts from companies like Apple for mass production.
they are not production bases because they are not owned by the other companies. Foxconn is not owned by Apple. They are subcontractors, and are independent companies. They're "production bases" for thousands of companies around the world. Foxconn manufactures many different brands of smart phones at the same time for multiple clients. This is subtle, but far different than if Apple had a facility in China that was owned by Apple and produced iPhones.
