Fucking gross. Of course, this isn’t a communist party problem, but exists in literally every place in the world.
My larger point was theoretical, rather than material. I fully acknowledge that the party itself is corrupt, but there are points of leverage that Chinese people can use, but only by joining the party. The mechanisms to influence the government outside the party are likely more dangerous.

Stories like this aren’t that odd. My partner’s family came to the US because the options even for rather privileged PhDs were bleak and full of awful concessions. If that’s what it’s like for the more privileged people, I shudder to think how it must be for the less.
