What is a bureaucracy What happened when the bureaucracy in China became corrupt?

A bureaucracy is a system of government or management characterized by hierarchical organization, rules, and procedures designed to efficiently administer policies and services. In China, when the bureaucracy became corrupt, it led to widespread inefficiency, exploitation, and a loss of public trust in the government. Corruption often resulted in favoritism, nepotism, and the misallocation of resources, which exacerbated social inequalities and unrest. This deterioration in governance has historically contributed to significant political and social upheaval in the country.
