The gov got robbed by a few million (RMB?) by this guy, okay. I still doubt that's significant and if the result is they develop better ways of scrutinising individuals, then that was definitely a worthwhile lesson to learn back in 2006. I'm sure the CCP spend more on cleaning Beijing streets every week than what they gave this guy? Losing trust in potential swindlers is a good thing. One swindler existing doesn't mean the entire industry is filled with swindlers. But that goes without saying knowing just how far China's come in semiconductors, telecom, and computing; from a non-existent, no start to trailing the absolute leaders of the industry in less than 20 years. Dominating peerlessly in a select few departments -5G related, quantum, supercomputer, exascale.
