What I hear from my chineese friends is so insane. If you have kids, you can use subsidized kindergarten in China. But the trick here is that you either pay a fortune directly to the one's pocket, or your kids do not receive a place there.

The example of grand corruption is Xi's third term when he rewrote the constitution to make it possible.

Xi didn't fight the corruption. He has redistributed it to benefit the right people while he was presenting it as a war on corruption.

Would you say corruption in modern China is worse than it was in the immediate aftermath of Deng's reforms? On what basis?

I can believe your friends experience corruption, but I'm not sure how to compare what you're saying to what existed before. The change over time would be a good way of knowing whether corruption is being reined in or not.

So if you have money you can send your kids to a private kindergarten which will be partially subsidized by the state? I don't understand, this is how private school works in America as well.
