Goodbye Shanghai: After 16 years, Covid curbs send American family packing
Heather and husband George arrived in Shanghai from New York in 2006 for a one-year adventure, but 16 years later their two-bedroom apartment in Shanghai’s historic former French Concession is the only home their children have ever known.

Tri argued that the fight against corruption should be more about preventing it and less about punishing the crime ; and that those guilty of corruption and economic crimes can be given opportunities to fix their misdeeds. That would not only allow the state to recover its lost assets, but also be a humane gesture. There is some merit to this argument, I thought. After all, we haven't been able to seize back much of the lost assets in recent economic and corruption cases that have been prosecuted … [Read more...] about Leniency for criminals willing to pay up?
