Flip side of honor

When Wuhan University's standing vice-president and standing deputy Communist Party secretary were arrested for taking bribes from construction contractors, the shock was said to be "seismic."

The two university officials were in charge of the institution's infrastructure, finance and logistics and "initial probes" reportedly found that the bribes they accepted were "at least in the millions."

The arrests are not that much of a shock, or even a surprise. Nor was the amount of money involved.
