Zero transparency yet they all know that everybody else from top to bottom is corrupt to the bone. The rulers don't say anything because all of them benefit from corruption to a certain extent. Those who don't (lower classes) and stand up for what is right are being crushed by the army or the police.

There is another reason they don't push for more transparency, they can't think otherwise than lying and cheating, 5000 years of slave mentality.

Ultimately the system will fail, China will still exist as a great power but as the commoners become richer and more educated they will ask for basic standards in everything, from food and air quality to full transparency on the assets of the political rulers.

China will become a better country on the long run, I have faith in it, wealth will ultimately go to those with skills or the creative ones instead of the corrupt and the land buyout kings. It will be redistributed in a better way as well.

But this won't happen as long the people accept the deal made by Deng Xiaoping, to not mingle with political matters.
