Chinese officials are being told to dump their mistresses, avoid hostess bars and other extravagances as part of the Communist party's effort to clamp down on corruption that is threatening it's rule and sullying its reputation.
It's just not possible to keep a mistress on your salary because maintaining this sort of extravagant lifestyle requires a large amount of cash money. So what do you do if you don't have money? Naturally you'll use the power at your disposal to go find one." said the party discipline enforcer.
Morality drives date back long before the Communist Party seized power in 1949, but the current one seems to stem more from a recognition that rampant corruption threatens to undermine the party's authority and permanently warp the value system of this rapidly developing nation of 1.3 billion people.
BE AWARE, one satistic trotted out at a recent speech to bureacrats: 95% of officials investigated for corruption were found to be keeping mistresses.
