Behind short films

It sounds like a joke but, in fact, is outrageous. Few can imagine spending more than 18 million yuan ($2.82 million) on certain short publicity films. But that is what the Ministry of Railways has done.
The annual auditing by the National Audit Office has found that the ministry failed to invite bids for the films made in 2009-10.
People are shocked by the unimaginable high cost. Most of them smell corruption, and they are right.
