Topic2 Judges Buy Sex<\/strong><\/p>\n

The officials have disappointed Chinese public again. This time it happens with the judicial system. Last week, internet exposes surveillance footage of 5 Shanghai High Court Officials summo<\/em>ning prostitutes, 4 of which have been suspended from their posts already.<\/p>\n

Topic4 Half CSRC Cases Lead to Nowher<\/strong><\/p>\n

China’s top securities regulator vowed last Thursday to strengthen law enforcement as part of the move to reform the nation’s scandal-ridden capital markets.<\/p>\n

However, Xiao Gang, head of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, says the CSRC’s law enforcement work is "challenging". The agency investigates a<\/em>bout 110 cases every year, but less than 60 cases end with the imposition of penalties, and a<\/em>bout 30 of those are ultimately referred for criminal investigation. More than half of the cases end with no further action.<\/p>\n

Why is enforcement of laws so hard?

Why are people so angry? Are we too demanding to celebrities?<\/p>\n
