Churches, Governments, Academia. Hierarchies form, incentives drift over time and become mismatched with original intent. The proof is in history, look at Church abuse, Inquisition, look at grade fixing, admissions scandals, look at Volkswagen tweaking emissions, look at CEO's lying to promote products. Our entire society is based on the ebb and flow of some kind of corruption, or ebb-flow of Law.
Even today, in America, half the population think that the laws themselves are corrupt and should be broken. Judges aren't trusted. So who is corrupt if you don't have any foundation to judge anything against?
I'm totally against China taking Taiwan, but from a 'certain point of view', they have point. It was a part of China before the war, and the mainland 'won'. So they think of it as unification.
Again. I am totally against China taking Taiwan. Just think it is bit more nuanced.
Actually, think we are agreeing.
