I have the impression that meritocracy is the biggest reason for what you described (leapfrogging developed countries despite corruption). After all, due to the ancient Chinese culture of meritocracy, they select the most capable people for governing on every level.

Often extensively, and carefully tested by their superior before getting promotions every step of the way for many decades, only the highest intelligent and fitting people in society, make it as officials there. The capability to easily become a STEM postgraduate (doesn't matter if they get it or not, they at least have this level of potential in them) is something of a baseline required, very high IQs indeed.

So, even if those capable and accomplished, meritocratically-elected officials receive corruption, they at least produce enough results for the society as a whole to offset that by a large amount. They produce way more than what they take from society with their results.

Let's say one provincial-level official in China saw the increase of GDP during his tenure by 50 or 100 billion $, then the fact that he received a few hundred million in corruption doesn't matter much. I would even say that they deserved it at this point, after all, if some manager in the private sector produced such results, he would also get tremendous bonuses. It needs to happen to keep him motivated.

Unlike in the West where you have simply the law of governing where the least capable and most stupid people run the country. So it doesn't matter if they are not corrupt to that extent when they do more damage to the country simply due to how incapable they are.
Bro sometimes in business having employed good Chinese employees is a detriment to one's health....lol I'm saying this as a private entrepreneur, here in the Philippines most Hua Qiao will never employ their owned kind or Mainland Chinese for fear of competition. Once they work for you and know the tricks of the trade, they will venture on their own and compete with you. It's the Chinese way, be the boss, their mantra is to owned and operate their business rather than work for somebody.

Social media war between India and Maldives. After Modi made a sly dig at Maldives by promoting India's Lakshadweep islands as an alternative beach destination to Maldives on his X page.


Mariyam Shiuna, Maldives’ Deputy Minister of Youth Empowerment, Information and Arts, who wrote: “What a clown. The puppet of Israel Mr. Narendra diver with life jacket. #VisitMaldives #SunnySideOfLife”. In a now-deleted post, Shiuna also compared India to cow dung.
LOL!

In response to the Indian government’s attempts at promoting tourism in the Lakshadweep, officials in the Maldives and supporters of the ruling coalition of the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) and People’s National Congress (PNC) have pushed a #VisitMaldives hashtag – featuring photos of holiday resorts, beaches and hotels in the country. Some Maldivian social media users have gone so far as to claim that Lakshadweep is not Indian territory and belongs to the Maldives.
LOL! WTH?

Butthurt Indians are boycotting Maldives for the insulting X tweet by the Maldives minister.

To be fair though, we Chinese folks would just as readily boycott business with a nation or entity who insults China, it's leadership, and it's people. So I understand the Indian POV for boycotting Maldives. Nevertheless, it's India and Modi that is being insulted, so I'm absolutely fine with that. They have been dishing out so much derogatory insults to China and the Chinese people that they fully deserved receiving some back themselves.

I'm truly ROFL on this one.

US Intelligence Shows Flawed China Missiles Led Xi to Purge Army
  • China missiles filled with water, not fuel: US intelligence
  • Xi seeking to root out corruption, prepare military for combat

Really? "China missiles filled with water, not fuel"? What kind of US intelligence is this?
I hope to God that a day won't come when they miscalculate and accidentally start a nuclear annihilation due to their self inflicted tomfoolery.

At least this idiotic take allowed me to unfollow/mute any self-claimed PLA experts/analysts that showed up on my timeline.

Look at those loud mouth Jai Hinds go. Their Aditya sun observation probe has reached its destination. No congratulations from me.

The world better be careful about Indian promises. I won't trust an Indian early warning system. That last Indian probe to the moon couldn't survive freezing. Who is to say that this probe won't get fried by solar radiation long enough to work as an early warning? Someone else better have a spare system in place, just in case.

They only use the probe at night of course. #onestepaheadofyou

Comrade Yilong: good thing I bought Twitter so at least there is one place without rampant smearing campaigns against me.

Interesting how 80% of high profile politicians and scientific/business elites are confirmed child rapists but Elon and Trump are the ones being smeared against in MSM. Insecurities much?
