Bribes are paid in many forms in China but I don't think that Bitcoin would be a preferred form at this stage (as you can't really actually *use* Bitcoin in China as a currency).
Things like "shopping cards" are generally more useful for amounts ranging from say 10K to 100K RMB and for much larger amounts property would be more likely to be used.
If corrupt officials were going to use Bitcoin for anything it would most likely be to transfer their wealth (or ill gotten gains if you prefer) outside of China (as the capital controls make it very hard to move large sums of RMB).
this.
However more likely big bribes are payed with property and other means of value. Bitcoin may be used but is highly unlikely, since the adoption rate isn't that big, especially in government officials. However anything can and will happen in this world.
However bribing in general has definitely happened in the bitcoin ecosystem and will continue to happen, because the nature of bitcoins.
