China watchdogs are going after rampant corruption in healthcare, among other enterprises

 Tread carefully, Dr. Binder!  Make sure the people you do business with in China aren't part of the "rampant graft" in healthcare there.  The anti-corruption watchdog in China has announced five more years of cracking-down on corruption.

China's crackdown on corruption, a scourge Communist Party leaders fear threatens their hold on power, is likely to last at least another five years, an official said, warning also against the mid-autumn tradition of handing out mooncakes as gifts.
President Xi Jinping has promised to go after "tigers and flies" in rooting out rampant graft, a campaign that has brought down politicians and company executives in industries including oil, cars and healthcare.
