That’s not limited to the west. Corruption and nepotism may be harder to detect in some non-western countries with authoritarian regimes, opaque (or non-existent) public data and their crackdown on free speech, but it’s nevertheless a global phenomenon. If you published an article like that about a government rep in a dictatorship, you quickly ended up in jail or got killed.
