Summary Introduction
To determine: Ranking for corruption in the following nations
Introduction:
The ranking of countries is done based on the corruption levels in them. The rankings are given every year on the basis of many factors. These corruption indexes are calculated by the help of expert assessments and opinion surveys.
There are no direct ways to measure corruption. Hence, the corruption index is calculated from different assessments made by different institutions and surveys. The countries are scored from 100 (very clean) to 0 (Highly Corrupt). If the scores are from 0 – 49, they are more corrupt. If they are scored from 50 – 100, they are less corrupt.

As a result, Spirit Electric came to a standstill in the latter part of 2009. Matt Green, Spirit Electric CEO, gathered the Board of Directors and determined that the company…
China has a population of over 1.4 billion people, and more than 700 million of its citizens are Internet users. Given those statistics, it is perhaps not surprising that China is the world's leader in e-commerce, with 40 percent of global sales volume—double that of the United States. China is also the home of 4 of the world's top 12 Internet companies ranked by market capitalization: e-commerce giant Alibaba, social-media and gaming company Tencent, search specialist Baidu, and smartphone maker Xiaomi. China has accomplished all this while implementing a system of Internet censorship and surveillance measures, dubbed the Golden Shield Project and the Great Firewall, which are some of the strictest in the world.
