Yu Zhiping has been sentenced to 13 years in jail.

 

Yu Zhiping, the former vice major of the city of Meishan in Sichuan province, has said that in an environment where corruption is so common, an official would be seen as a "freak" if he refuses to take a bribe.

 

When Yu was sentenced to 13 years in jail for accepting bribes of 3 million yuan (US$480,000) last year, he said in a statement that "an official will be sneered at as a freak if he refuses to take money."

 

According to Yu, some businesspeople would cry and beg officials to take their bribes. If the money were turned down, the official would be seen as causing the supplicant to feel humiliated.

 

Yu was considered a successful politician before he was sentenced to jail. He said the first time he was offered 200,000 yuan (US$31,700) by a businessman, he refused to take it. The man started crying, saying that if Yu refused, he would lose face.

 

Giving in to the man's pleading, Yu took the money and subsequently became more willing to take bribes

I think CCP should have an official handbook on how to bribe a party official since the practise is so rampant anyway. Best is specify what amount for what kind of favours...
