#1 So, what are the chances of a best-selling book about all this, entitled "Gone With The Wang"

#2 Hey, that's fun, Wang (spelled differently in latin characters) is my mother family's original name (chinese, too), perhaps we're related. Oh, boy, I'm so excited, if that guy gets the bullet-in-the-head routine, I might get a share of his inheritance or something... more money to spend on ebay, yeah!

#3 Official graft was virtually wiped out in China in the years after the 1949 Communist takeover but has bounced back in the wake of economic reforms that have spawned wealth and greed.

Official graft is an integral part of one party states, rich or poor. Just an opportunity for the writer to take a shot at capitalism.

#4 Good one, Sgt. Mom! I once worked in an office that had a Wang mainframe system tended by a very nice and wickedly competent IT person named Wong. You can imagine the punmanship that combination inspired.
