Deleting online posts has become China?s latest get-rich-quick opportunity. Some web portals have what they call in-house public relations companies, which charge clients to delete unflattering posts. A recent scandal involving Japanese porn stars has raised prices for deleting content.
In May, after PetroChina?s Sichuan Petrochemical Company announced a 38 billion yuan (US$6.06 billion) project, Japan?s Shimadzu Corporation and its representative in Beijing, Beijing HED Group, allegedly won a contract to supply chromatograph machines with a low bid to the company, and then bribed officials by inviting officials from the company and a contractor to Japan, where top Japanese porn stars entertained them. The scandal went viral on the Internet.

Comes on the back of stuff like this:
Grinning? Chinese official sacked
XI?AN ? A Chinese work safety official photographed grinning at the scene of a fatal bus crash late last month has been removed from his post for possessing a number of expensive watches and serious violation of discipline, local authorities said Friday.
Yang Dacai was dismissed from his position as member of the Shaanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China (CPC), as well as head and Party chief of the provincial work safety administration, according to the provincial discipline watchdog.
The commission said a further investigation of Yang is under way.
Yang first came into the spotlight after he was photographed wearing a broad smile while surveying a collision between a bus and a methanol tanker that left 36 people dead on August 26.
His inopportune expression was seen as unsympathetic and aroused wide public indignation, although he explained that he was ?unprepared? at the time the photo was taken and smiled at the site in an attempt to comfort his colleagues.
Yang then found himself targeted by netizens looking to rake the muck, with photos surfacing of Yang wearing 11 luxury wristwatches. Although Yang claimed he purchased the watches with his own salary, Internet users argued that a public servant could not possibly afford the expensive watches.
After the scandal broke, the provincial discipline watchdog said that Yang would be investigated and receive serious punishment if any disciplinary violation or corruption was found.
Do you want to work in a country where mugging inopportunely while a camera is looking at you can get you fired?
Oh wait, maybe we already do. Maybe he?s bent, perhaps not, but still this is mob behaviour?
