FYI, Carol you should be grateful that all the bribes have a name…As Chinese the bribes we pay to the officials are necessary but never have a proper name…but don’t complain, it’s more than just corruption or anything, it’s just a bureaucracy kind of stuff left by the 2000 yrs of feudalism…alone with all other stuff that are still in a dominant position today. Maybe you can never get rid of it…

I am hoping that this is somehow a translation misunderstanding?<br/><br/>BTW I have a sister who has adopted three girls from China. I'm surprised China made these new rules. The dollars that were spent just on bribes to Chinese officials were over half the cost of the entire thing. They were called "administrative fees" or "document fees", etc., but they had to be made in cash, and given directly to a varity of different gate keepers.
