I believe that western countries have a better take on hiding corruption than their third world counterparts.

I can agree on that since it also goes on in the US.  Currently, there's a very high end politician who is very corrupt, but in his case, it's becoming more and more difficult for him to hide his corrupt activities.

Without going politics, it's world wide, they've a special jail here in Aussie for corrupt, polllies, cops and the so good incorruptible.

That's probably true. Corruption in wealthy countries is mostly at the top of the food chain. Here in the poorer countries everyone from the bottom up wants a little grease to make thing go easier. Just try bribing a cop in the US for not writing a ticket for failing to use  a turn signal and you will understand what I mean. Here in the Phills you are given the option to pay the fine on the spot. Get my point?

Is that like the special place in hell for the non believers?

To clarify this matter, I completely agree with AZ Kid about how corruption is spread throughout the entire food chain in the Phils, just as he said:

I don't have any doubts about the Chinese execution of corrupt officials, so I hope that this clears things up... if not, I know that I've tried.
