That is terrible. Looks like America democracy is a club for politicians to enriched themselves. Joe Biden's son, Hunter, runs a series of biolabs in Ukraine and a colorful bunch of rogue deals all over the globe. Now Pelosi's husband is an insider trader and a son with doubtful tech dealings in Taiwan. .....

Has always been that way. And it's legal. Their bills are always super thick and has fine print where certain money is given to certain businesses. Since these are part of the bill and is passed so they become legal subsidies.

This I don't disagree.
US is a disappointment for me.
The check and valance is weak and over time politicians game the system. The media became split to left and right and bias.
Having said that, it will be worse if it js not a democracy and there is no check and balance under dictators.
Look at Indonesia under Suharto and Phillipines under Marcos Snr, corruption ran from top to bottom.
Najib was corrupt and removed when he lost the elections. He has no ability to cover up be abuse of the free press and scrutiny.
Under dictatorships you basically have no chance to go after those in power for wrongdoing.

Indonesia and Philippines are still just as corrupted or even worst than before after gaining democracy. The people even voted in another Marcos.....

Democracy is not perfect but dictatorship the downside is worse.
Jokowi has to stay much cleaner that Suharto because any scandal he will be arrested and jailed.
Similarly, Marcos Jr has to much cleaner than his father Marcos Snr. Remember that actor president Phillipines had a few years ago he was caught and jailed.
Democracy is not perfect qnd some countries due to religios and cultural background is difficult to implement....but by far the overwhelming evidence is it works well...NZ , Norway Sweden, S. Korea etc....and not to forget Taiwan.

Does US look like a democracy to u given all those things u said above about US? Their democracy is just paying lip service only. Democracy only when it serves their personal interests. Democracy only when it puts them on top so that they can enslave those below. Self serving democracy is not democracy. It's hypocrisy.

America disappoint you ? Gee...since when did you suddenly grew up ?
Ask you 3 simple questions:
Why wasn't George W Bush charged for War Crime for WMD lies and invasion of Iraq ?
Why wasn't JFK label a terrorist for using chemical weapons in Vietnam ?
And why didn't Clinton lost his Whitehouse job?
Now, tell us about Dictatorship, Democracy and "checks and balances"...

It's above board, and above the book.
Those shareholdings are not secrets. If it is corruption, it would be a complex web that is well nigh impossible to trace back to her or her son.
Just because her son made some sound investments, or was given shares actually, the anti-freedom fighter want to pant Pelosi's son as corrupted and by extension, Pelosi and the entire USA.

What "colour"? I can only see shades of grey in that photo which interestingly is in China's news archive of 1957 CCP conference.
At least Mao didn't had to sneak around like Bill did in the White House.

Right, CCP ish goot.
Hu Jintao's daughter graduated from a university, aged 21, and immediately became the Lumber 2 (wo)man of a SOE.
Do you know how big a Chinese SOE is?
At the age of 21, what working sexperience did she have to be the Lumber 2 (wo)man? Hmmm?
And the Lumbar Huan man in the SOE had to lan lan suck it up. He did not dare to say "No".
When Winnie "cracked down" on corruption to silence his opponents, Hu got a signal from Winnie to diam diam before he's next after Bo Xilai. Hu wisely kept his mouth shut after that, as did Jiang Zemin....

No lah, Pelosi didn't say its a "complex web" - She says her hubby just a normal shareholder exercising his rights in US' "free economy"...
