While China does not hesitate to sentence corrupt policitians to death, you rarely hear about the sentences ever being carried out and they only go after the really, really egregious ones when they become too big to hide from the public. Jefferson is very small fry compared to the stuff that gets Chinese pols death sentences. Some of those guys are on the take for 8-9 figure bribes, bulldoze entire neighborhoods and hand the land off to developer friends for kickbacks, etc. I'd love to see that stuff enforced uniformly in China and then we can talk about it here.
