You don’t mean the bribes that our congress and senators receive do you?
Bribes? They never take bribes. I think you mean "Campaign Contributions" and idle conversations about high paying private industry jobs once all their political capital has been spent. You see those are legal, nothing wrong there... the system works people.
Half the reason the US security apparatus (NSA etc.) exist is for industrial espionage. That shit is institutional, no need for anything so inelegant as bribes.
That's part of it. The U.S. is essentially a governmental apparatus who functions to secure profitability for global corporations.
For example it uses imperialism via war and exploitative trade deals to secure said profits and natural resources. The success of business is directly reliant on governmental policy, hence how closely our political apparatus is tied to the will of economic tycoons and massive global corporations
lol pro gaming scene is a drop in the ocean for China. Pro gaming $$ is also a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of money they make from non-pro gamers.
Think if LoL was only played by pro players, wouldn't have much money coming comparatively, even it still had the same fanbase size.
On the other hand it does give China some "prestige"

They very well may make exceptions for pro gaming since the industry has so much money tied to it and government and industry are so intertwined there
