FUYANG, ANHUI, CHINA – FEBRUARY 14: The Western-style office building of the district authority of the under-developed city of Fuyang is seen on February 14, 2007 in Fuyang, China. The building, whose design is meant to be a cross between the White House and Capitol Hill, has caused much controversy as it cost more than 30 million yuan ($3.85 million) to build while the annual fiscal income of the local district barely reaches 100 million yuan ($12.8 million). China is setting up a high-powered national anti-corruption agency as close to 100,000 members of China’s ruling Communist Party were punished last year for corruption, according to state media.
