Abstract

Corruption has been around for many years in China, but in recent years especially since the reform policy in late 70's, it has become the major issue of Chinese society and attracted much attention. The rate of official corruption has increased, and the efforts against corruption in China not succeeded. The report surveys and discusses issues on corruption in China from actions against corruption, It emphasizes corruption. in terms of how the Chinese leadership defines it, and how this definition affects its anti-corruption strategy. The reforms have affected all aspects of China's political life. Anti--corruption campaigns are formulated at the central policy-making level. The main goals of government against corruption limit the anti--corruption campaign's model and scale. There are two main issues that impede the efficacy of efforts to combat corruption in China: firstly, the belief of the CCP leadership that corruption is predominantly a moral problem, which could be alleviated without attacking the structure and leadership core of the Party. Secondly, the subjection of efforts to combat corruption to the central leadership, and the existence of two other strategic priorities - economic reform and economic growth which compete with and undercut the priority attached to fighting corruption. Actions against corruption. have been taken but are ineffective due to the lack of political will and other weakness in China. Fighting corruption will not be successful without taking political and institutional reform into consideration.
