Legend Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Corruption has always been, and is still rampant among the Chinese officials. They have gotten bold flaunting the ill-conceived wealth via luxury watches, super cars etc. But uncovering corruption in China is a case of "let those without sin cast the first stone" Once you start the witch hunt, many heads will roll, and the hunter may also end up with much more than he bargained more.

Johnkaz Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I am sure this is one instance when wearing a rep could be a lifesaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I am sure this is one instance when wearing a rep could be a lifesaver. It can still be the same if photographed with a very good rep on the wrist. From the pictures like the one in the attachment, who could tell?

milhouse Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I know a few people (Chinese and American), who used to work in China. They both said that what we consider "payoffs" are just part and parcel to doing business there. Looks like, times, they are a-changin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Half the watches pictured were probably reps. After all domestic China is almost certainly the largest market for the reps we buy. As we're well aware you ever tell from the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
