Being from the sub-continent, low-level and bureaucratic corruption is a big pervasive problem. Corruption in general. From the lower office peons to the highest officers the rot runs deep. Bribing to even get basic paperwork done is common. How do countries like China and others in the "First World" handle it?

Is it a culture thing? or something else?

If the top of political leadership is rotten then it will all rot from the head.

That's what I wanna understand. What causes leadership of some countries to have the will to be against corruption while leaders in some countries couldn't care less or worse, actively enable it.
