  • The Characteristics of Bribe-Taking by Chinese High-Level Officials
    Chinese Business Review, July-Sep. 2019, Vol. 18, No. 3, 1-9 doi: 10.17265/1537-1506/2019.03.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Characteristics of Bribe-Taking by Chinese High-Level Officials Huaiyuan Han, Lotfi Hamzi, Edgar Bellow NEOMA Business School, Reims, France The purpose of this paper is to analyze in detail the characteristics of bribe-taking by provincial and ministerial or senior-level officials. In this paper, we analyze the data concerning all provincial and ministerial level officials convicted of bribe-taking apart from army generals. We identify 110 cases between 1987 and the end of 2015, of which 76 cases involved bribery alone and the rest also involved other crimes. The achievements of China’s economic reforms and opening-up over the last 40 years are obvious to all, but they have encouraged significant problems of corruption by senior party and government officials. Between 1987 and 2015 the number of officials convicted of corruption grew significantly and, sentences became more severe. Since 1987, the amount of bribery has increased steadily and the time span of corruption has increased. Corrupt officials mostly use traditional kinds of exchange of interests, and corruption in China has spread into every part of society. China still has a long way to go if it is to win the fight against corruption. Keywords: China, corruption, power, self-interest Introduction China is undergoing unprecedented change, which requires us to advance our understanding of this country constantly. To understand China well, it is necessary to investigate not only the factors that will promote its further economic development, but also those that could hinder its social progress.

  • He Jiahong Corruption Assessment
    He Jiahong Corruption Assessment Assessment and Analysis of Corruption in China He Jiahong (Published in China Legal Science, No. 5, Vol.3, September 2015) Abstract Criminal corruption refers to instances in which employees of the government, private companies or other work units take advantage of their position to embezzle funds or accept bribes. The state of criminal corruption can be assessed both objectively and subjectively; both methods exhibit insufficient accuracy in some respects. Presently, criminal corruption is a severe problem in China,1 having become both systemic and socially ingrained. Causes of corruption can be traced back to human nature and instincts, social practices, and the general operation of the systems in question. A clear understanding of these causes can provide us with a method for developing countermeasures. Keywords: Corruption, crime, assessment, cause China’s current government has already sounded the alarm regarding the problem of corruption, and fighting it has become the ruling party’s most serious challenge. The situation is indeed as President Xi Jinping described in his 17 November 2012 address before the first collective study session of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC): HE Jiahong, SJD (1993, Northwestern University, USA), Professor of Law, Director of the Centre for Common Law and Deputy Director of the Research Center for Criminal Law, the Law School of Renmin University of China. The author hereby expresses his heartfelt thanks to Mr. Jesse Field, Ms. Kelly Falconer, and Mr. Canaan Morse who helped with the writing in English. 1 Except when specifically noted, “China” in this article refers to mainland China.

  • China's Political Ecology and the Fight Against Corruption
    China’s Political Ecology and the Fight against Corruption Joseph Fewsmith Since the 18th Party Congress convened in November 2012, China has undertaken a wide-ranging campaign against corruption. The campaign has gone on longer, cut deeper, and affected more people than anyone might have imagined two years ago. The course of the campaign has exposed in considerable depth many of the ills of political life in China. Although it seems intended to break up many of the “small circles” that pervade China’s political life, there is no question that the campaign has focused particular attention on the networks around Zhou Yongkang, the former head of China’s security forces, and Ling Jihua, the former head of the General Office. China’s leadership has promised the campaign will continue, so there are likely to be more surprises; perhaps one or more new “tigers” will be exposed. China’s fight against corruption really began with the conviction of Bo Xilai (薄熙来), the former party secretary of Chongqing municipality and an apparent contender for a seat on the party’s powerful Politburo Standing Committee (PBSC). But since Bo’s case was concluded prior to the 18th Party Congress, he is not mentioned in the running tab the People’s Daily website has maintained of ministerial-level cadres who have been taken in for investigation, and he is rarely mentioned in media articles discussing corruption. Perhaps the relative silence surrounding the Bo Xilai case since the 18th Party Congress is intended to minimize the political nature of the current campaign, though the recent arrest of Zhou Yongkang (周永康), the retired former head of the security apparatus, inevitably raises questions about Bo and politics in general.

  • Autocrats Untying Their Hands-Political Prosecution of Corruption In
    ISA Hong Kong 2017 Jia Li June 15 [email protected] Autocrats Untying Their Hands: Political Prosecution of Corruption in a Limited Autocracy Jia Li, University of Chicago Abstract Autocrats have an incentive to purge rival elites in the course of anticorruption. But can an autocrat purge his rivals by political prosecution in a limited autocracy where power-sharing arrangements tie his hands? Empirical observation from China, an institutionalized autocracy with a history of politicized anticorruption, sheds light on this question. Xi Jinping’s anticorruption campaign provides network evidence that the autocrat is untying his hands and purging rivals despite the constraints on his power. Studying the network where purged elites are nodes and their colleague relations are ties, this paper argues that the emphasis on political prosecution against an elite explains his centrality in the purged network, which suggests that political prosecution drives the campaign as much as cleansing graft does. The independent variable, emphasis on political prosecution, is estimated by the ratio of intraparty duration to procuratorial duration. Centrality, as the dependent variable, is constructed by PageRank algorithm. The finding suggests that an autocrat in a limited autocracy is capable of reneging on power sharing. Keywords: limited autocracy; network analysis; corruption; China 1 ISA Hong Kong 2017 Jia Li June 15 [email protected] Autocrats with hands tied: can they purge rivals by political prosecution? Autocrats have an incentive to purge rival elites in the course of anticorruption. As a strategy to enforce political order, they manipulate judicial processes and employ courts to monitor regime elites (Magaloni, 2008b).

  • China's Anti-Corruption Campaign and Credit Reallocation from Soes
    China’s Anti-Corruption Campaign and Credit Reallocation from SOEs to Non-SOEs* Bo Li, Zhengwei Wang, and Hao Zhou PBC School of Finance, Tsinghua University First Draft: March 2016 This Version: July 2018 Abstract We provide a novel empirical finding that the recent anti-corruption investigations in China are associated with credit reallocation from less productive, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to more productive, non-SOEs. The empirical strategy exploits staggered investigations as exogenous shocks to bank loan issuance among rival firms in affected industry. The main finding extends to implicated firms and non-affected industries, proves strong for extensive margins and a supply shock, and remains solid for stock market reactions. We further single out the economic efficiency channel, and to a lesser extent, the political connection channel, through which the anti-corruption campaign leads to improved credit reallocation. Keywords: Anti-corruption, credit reallocation, state ownership, economic efficiency, political connection. JEL Classification: G30, G32, G34, P26. * We would like to thank the editor Wei Jiang and two anonymous referees for comments and suggestions that substantially improved the paper.
