If China is a corrupt state, then it is a miracle that it's government has been able to pass some benefits to the people. Foremost, the government has been able to bring economic prosperity to the country. Nonetheless, we do see the government executing to death sentences its prominent businessmen and military bosses for corruption.
I looked at China's national chart and found it fairly strong for success since it has Venus very strong in it's own house and in the 10th house. This accounts for its economic strength and the apparent success of its musicians in the world stage, such as Lang Lang and Yundi Li. We also see some business entrepreneurs there copying city motifs from Europe and building them in their Asian environment. However, a malefic planet, Ketu, is in conjunction with the Sun and Mercury in the 9th house signifying the government and religion. This feature accounts for the corruption in the government and the official religion being atheism. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <richard@...> wrote : Worldwide there are over 500 million people that adhere to some form of Buddhism, so its not surprising that some of them have become corrupted by either sex, drugs and money, or all of the above. China has the most practicing Buddhist and everyone knows that China is a totally corrupt state. Currently, we have two friends now living over in Thailand, down on Phucket Island. Bob is a language teacher and Lewis is a psychologist. According to them, they are both moving leaving and saying 'fuckit'. Apparently Thailand ranks world no.2 in road fatalities. Go figure. BANGKOK - Danger-prone road conditions and recklessness of motorists have made Thailand become one of the three countries with the highest numbers of traffic fatalities in the world. Based on the statistics of the World Health Organization and University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, Thailand is ranked second in terms of traffic fatalities with 44 deaths per a population of 100,000 per year. Coming first and third are Namibia and Iran with 45 and 38 fatalities per a population of 100,000 respectively. According to the global statistics, the average number of people died in road accidents is 18 per a population of 100,000 per year. Analysts said the high number of fatalities not only resulted from motorists’ carelessness alone. Accident-prone road conditions were also to blame for the tragedy. The Ministry of Public Health meanwhile revealed that nearly 500 accidents occurred at U-turns over the past year. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : Apparently, money and sex have corrupted Buddhism in Thailand. http://news.yahoo.com/activist-monk-seeks-buddhism-overhaul-thailand-over-corruption-073039016.html http://news.yahoo.com/activist-monk-seeks-buddhism-overhaul-thailand-over-corruption-073039016.html
