In west, political contribution is legalized through constitution, very detail rule about the limit of contribution could be found online by everyone. They set rules for individuals to give up to $2,600 to each candidate or candidate committee per election, or $32,400 to national party committee per calendar year etc. They also prohibit some contributions like cash contributions or contributions from corporations, labor organizations and national banks. This limit is adjusted every year according to inflation rate.

In short, they legalized this bribery, make it subordinated to the constitutional framework, make it public to every citizen. What China should learn is to achieve a fair legal system to make sure everything operates under its normal way, no political influence could distort the justice. Only in this way, our leaders will have very few possibility to directly intervene in events that's far beyond their own jurisdiction. Only if everyone does his own job and leave alone other's job, that is to say everybody never cross the line, corruption will be solved.

We know democracy works well in west and developed countries, but democracy is not suitable for current China. The most urgent thing is to achieve a fair legal system.

That's 1 countries system and it's messed up. The U.S doesn't = The whole of the "West".

No, it equals most of the west.

All of the other WEST countries have to listen to USA.

That's the U.S political donations system. Every country is different. Stop generalizing.

It does happen, but luckily we have elections to boot them out. You don't have that liberty.
What's worse than an elected corrupt official? An unelected one that can't be fired.

Like I said, the ability to boot them out means nothing when your entire candidate pool is corrupt from very beginning and it is true, we don't fire the corrupt officials. That's because we execute them instead letting them go with a slap on the wrist.

We don't have phoney elections to get rid of corrupt officials, we have executions. This way corrupt officials can never cause problems for the country any more.
