The corrupt, but lean and growth-friendly government

This is an interesting post

One of the world's most interesting riddles is how China, the world-historical champion of big fat bureaucracies, ended up with a government that's comparatively lean and mean and growth-friendly where the governments of India and most of Latin America and Africa are complex and bloated and growth-hindering....Buy off the party boss, and you can get down to business without any more legal niceties.....China's "one-stop shopping" approach to bribing the local government seems to be a sordid but significant part of what makes China an attractive place to develop new business. The difference is that China doing business in China requires fewer officials to be placated, evaded or bribed.

Probably it's why people say, in China, the corruption lubricates the business process. The reason is that you don't have to buy everyone as democracy does! Buy One, all set!

One curious thing is that: why Chile, a typical developing country, has much cleaner government? I will do some research on that later.
