China has launched a sweeping anti-corruption campaign targeting its hospitals, pharmaceutical industry and insurance funds as it grapples with mounting economic challenges and long-standing public frustration about high costs in the behemoth health care sector.

More than 180 hospital leaders, including Communist Party secretaries and hospital heads, have been put under investigation so far this year, according to state agency China News Service, with at least 10 of those voluntarily surrendering since June.

    My non sequitur was missing, but I found it. A crack down on corruption in healthcare is an improvement to their system and is irrelevant to the Capitalist Media Party Line bullshit about the imminent collapse of China.
