      I think you’ve misunderstood my comment because that’s kinda the point I was trying to make.

      This graph is implying “the west” is corrupt because they have lobbying. China was my counter example because it too allows lobbying but a) was left off the map and b) is likely not a country that OP would call corrupt.

          If we want to test your assertion you would need to define “The way we do in the west” because I’m reasonably certain none of the countries shown in red have the exact same laws around lobbying.

          With regards to “kneeling to fossil fuels,” I’m pretty sure there are more factors at play in that issue than just the laws surrounding lobbying specifically.
