Just noticed this forum at Beijing Review, discussing the case of Yu Bin, former vice mayor of a small city in Hunan province, who took brides to fund projects for the poor. He was recently found guilty of corruption, given three years in jail (it is not clear if that part of the sentence was suspended) and hefty fines. Beijing Review published short reactions by several people, some saying Yu was treated too harshly, others saying the full force of the law had to be applied. The title of the piece is “Does Virtue Justify Corruption?” Confucius and Mencius would, I believe, answer, yes.
