Dallas suspect taunted police during 2 hours of negotiation

HONG KONG (AP) — India has the most transparent companies while Chinese firms are the most opaque. That's according to a global anti-graft watchdog's survey released Monday that assesses efforts by emerging market companies to fight corruption. Transparency International said the report's findings were "pathetic" and highlighted the urgent need for big multinational companies to do more to fight corruption. The report covered 100 companies in 15 emerging market countries that also included Brazil, Mexico and Russia. The overall score slipped a fraction to 3.4 out of 10 since the last survey in 2013, with three quarters of companies scoring less than half. Thirty-seven Chinese companies were evaluated, making them the survey's biggest group, but they had the weakest overall performance. The three companies that scored zero out of 10 were all Chinese.
