Well, this is the story, so not a local UK issue:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3zqen209go

Reminds me of the commercial part of my Telecoms post grad course with the warnings about how in certain parts of the world "commissions" were expected to facilitate deals - and stories from one of my fellow students, who was a senior director of an African Telecoms service, about the lavishing and sometimes "exotic" entertainment of some east Asian equipment providers during visits of potential suppliers.

Fortunately, it's all a lot more business like in the UK where one has to make declarations of entertainment and gifts, and consider the bottom line.
