Yes, but the thing is...he is getting due attention. That at least shows 
that on a society level, it is not tolerated. Would you like me to name 
a few countries where this sort of thing is common all the way from the 
top and to bottom and nobody does anything about it?

I remember one Nigerian tell me that you cannot/must not get rid of 
corruption. The reason? It is part of Nigerian culture.

Probably the same thing that prevents anything other than M$ getting 
serious attention here in Hong Kong universities too.
