The article tells us that lives in the US were valued at $4.85 billion. So what was the payoff for victims in China that permits the conclusion that 'American lives are quite cheap unlike those in China'?

Uhhh...
The fact that NO AMOUNT OF MONEY could save you from prosecution in China maybe?
In fact, the American Conservative can point to several dead Chinese 'Boardroom types' to make a quite convincing argument that no amount of money could even save them from execution in China.
Or maybe the people who were executed are the ones who didn't have enough money.
Anti-corruption campaigns are very common in China. They'll go through and execute a few hundred people at a time. But they don't make a dent in actual corruption, because the only people to get executed are the ones without connections.
