In a lot of countries, bribery is effectively required as a condition of doing business. Try doing business in China or Russia or somewhere like that without paying bribes to government officials - the government will shut down your business or investigate you on trumped up charges until you pay up or give up.Not being able to do business with American companies is the type of large financial pressure that might be able to chip away at that "standard business practice" Pretty similar to how China can easily crack down on individual companies willing to censor speech for them (e.g. Blizzard), but it would hurt them a lot if all American businesses just stopped operating there unless they could do so on their terms. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! ...
