In the article, Wang Qishan is saying that they must learn from traditional morality in order to tackle the problems of corruption and graft.

This is by no means equivalent to saying China has a morality problem.

Wang refers to corruption among the CPC officials, and as you no doubt like to point out, the CPC is not the same thing as China. Wang is talking about tightening up the CPC, not about China in general.

Keep trying.

News reports say shooter is a 66-year old white dude from Florida. I wonder what drove him to commit the crime.
Definitely a morality problem going on in DC.o_O

first 3 reports are always wrong as a general rule. What I have is he is James T. Hodgkinson, of Illinois
suposedly he had volunteered for the Sanders Campaign.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A UPS employee opened fire at a San Francisco package delivery facility on Wednesday, injuring four and prompting a massive police response in a neighborhood near downtown, officials said.

UPS spokesman Steve Gaut told The Associated Press that an employee fired inside the facility before the drivers were sent out to do their normal daily deliveries. Gaut said four people were injured and that he believed the shooter "turned the gun on himself."

Gaut did not have immediate information about anyone's condition. Nor did Brent Andrew, spokesman for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, which had received the victims. He did not know exactly how many people.

Auto shop owner Robert Kim said he heard about five to eight rapid gunshots. The next thing he knew, he said, "a mob of UPS drivers" was running down the street screaming "shooter, shooter."

Police confirmed the shooting at the facility in the Potrero Hill neighborhood, about 2 ½ miles from downtown San Francisco but didn't release further information.

Uniformed UPS employees were later led out in a line by officers next to a highway. They walked away calmly with emergency vehicles nearby and gathered nearby outside a restaurant.

The shooting led to a massive police response and a shelter-in-place warning for the surrounding area. Police advised people to avoid the area.

Allow me to remind you that you claimed that China has a "morality problem" based on a video of a tragic traffic accident. You are now supplying an article about Chinese officials cracking down on corruption in support of your claim.

What does the one have to do with the other? Were the drivers in the video communist party members? Was this accident caused by corruption? What is the relevance?

Not sure why you're so stuck up on not posting in the appropriate thread. There actually is a Middle East thread aside from the Syria thread which is still more appropriate than this thread.
 
Wait for more confirmation on this one. ISIS guys have a habit of being declared killed only to pop up later after a nice vacation.
LOL I've been hearing Kremlin stories long enough ... my first thought actually was how they would've known where "Al Bagdadi" had been ... they're now showing a compound in Raqqa area which they purportedly flattened:
