Hasn’t the FCPA community understood this since 1988? That was the year that we amended the FCPA to include the affirmative […]
China’s netizens have a new favorite pastime: the “human flesh search,” in which microbloggers band together to unearth, research, and publicize evidence of apparent misconduct by officials.
