They have no real way of stopping this. If foreign entities (ahem China) wish to meddle in local politics, they will just channel the funds through a friendly local.

Now there's a fine example of posterior kissing from our Beijing-based advisor. He knows who butters his bread.
So far as the new laws, I think laws don't do much to stop influence peddling. They will find a way. People just have to learn to be aware and think critically. (I can dream.)
