Bruce Sterling on China. Andrew rightly smacked me around a bit in the comments the last time I posted on China, so it’s gratifying to see Bruce concerned about corruption in China, too.

Here’s the sixty-four dollar question: is corruption in China worse than in Singapore? I understand that Singapore is crony-ridden but not bribe-crazy, which seems to be just clean enough for prosperity. Singapore’s per capita GDP is higher than that of South Korea or Taiwan, but lower than Hong Kong’s.
