Way to go China!

And now for the US politicians. Doesn't need to be that much. Anything over $1m seems fair.

I'd even be happy with the prosecutions starting at over $1b

Great idea, let's have a bidding war of how little we as the American people are willing to take. Let's bargain down to just one corrupt awful piece of shit instead of hundreds of them. That sounds smart.

This is how the country ends up at "just shit in our mouths, is ok we deserve it."
