Certainly the wives of these accused officials will be watching with interest, as Hubbies pillow talk will be made public.

China, pretty much executes corrupt officials upon rendering a verdict usually within the hour.

Of course China, didn't invent Corrupt Politicians and officials, Mistresses and other crimes against the state.

But you have to give China credit, Speedy court trials, and immediate punishments are something to be admired.

No endless appeals and plea bargaining in this country, not unlike North America where Club Feds are the norm for the convicted, who really do not learn anything, except in some instances Crime does Pay, and usually comes with a Book or Movie Deal.

BEIJING - Anti-graft authorities in a southern Chinese city are questioning mistresses of suspected corrupt officials and finding the information is paying off prettily, state media said on Thursday.

Mistresses and "second wives" are common among government officials and businessmen in China and are often blamed for driving officials to seek money through bribes or other abuses of power.

"At least 80 per cent of corrupt officials exposed in Dongguan had mistresses who gave us important information that we did not possess," Zhou Yuefeng, deputy director of the industrial city's anti-graft bureau told the China Daily.
