I agree that there should be political reforms to minimize corruption and outsiders should do all they can to help this along but there is a limit of what we can do unless we're prepared to invade and institute regime change. China is a very corrupt and autocratic country but never the less foreign investment has greatly improved the standard of living there so I would say foreign investment by itself can play a very important role simply because the money is addicting so countries modify their behavior in order to attract more of it.
