  • The Prevention and Control of Economic Crime in China
    The Prevention and Control of Economic Crime in China: A Critical Analysis of the Law and its Administration Enze Liu Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Advanced Legal Studies School of Advanced Study, University of London September 2017 Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis represents my own work. Where information has been used they have been duly acknowledged. Signature: …………………………. Date: ………………………………. 2 Abstract Economic crime and corruption has been an issue throughout Chinese history. While there may be scope for discussion as to the significance of public confidence in the integrity of a government, in practical terms the government of China has had to focus attention on maintaining confidence in its integrity as an issue for stability. Since the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its assumption of power and in particular after the ‘Opening’ of the Chinese economy, abusive conduct on the part of those in positions of privilege, primarily in governmental organisations, has arguably reached an unprecedented level. In turn, this is impeding development as far as it undermines public confidence, accelerates jealousy and forges an even wider gap between rich and poor, thereby threatening the stability and security of civil societies. More importantly, these abuses undermine the reputation of the CCP and the government. China naturally consider this as of key significance in attracting foreign investment and assuming its leading role in the world economy. While there have been many attempts to curb economic crime, the traditional capabilities of the law and particularly the criminal justice system have in general terms been found to be inadequate.

The research makes a qualitative analysis of printed material drawn from a range of news outlets, differentiated by their specific political and commercial affiliations. The goal of the research is to better understand the role of mainstream media in social conflict resolution, a hitherto under-studied area, and to identify gradations within the ostensibly monolithic mainland Chinese media on issues of political sensitivity.

  • 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.

Credit: People’s Daily Online BROADCAST / PRINT MEDIA NEWS New leaders of censorship apparatus named, dimming hopes for opening As the second tier of Communist Party appointments were made public in the wake of the November 8–14 party congress (see CMB No. 74), the state-run Xinhua news agency announced on November 21 that Liu Qibao had been named to head the party’s propaganda department. He replaces Liu Yunshan, who had risen to become one of the seven members of the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee. The promotion of the two officials, and Liu Yunshan’s ranking as fifth in the Politburo hierarchy (the same as his predecessor, Li Changchun), dampened hopes that the new batch of leaders might take a more liberal approach to censorship. Several journalists, netizens, and grassroots activists told foreign and Hong Kong media that they saw the appointments as an “ominous sign,” expressing fears that the generally conservative new leadership might institute even harsher media and internet controls. Though it is difficult to confirm their precise roles, both Liu Qibao and Liu Yunshan have been cited in connection with high-profile cover-ups in the past.

ABSTRACT This qualitative textual analysis study focuses on two Chinese women who were previously sexually involved with the corrupted officers and later reported these officers to authorities. As a Chinese version of Twitter, Sina Weibo is a powerful social networking and communication tool for their reports. The study analyzes the posts and comments available on Sina Weibo about the identity of these women and how hegemonic Chinese femininity is performed, maintained, and challenged. These discussions may reflect the potential cultural, ideological, and socioeconomic factors that can influence the construction of contemporary Chinese femininity, providing the picture of how social media and mainstream journalists may influence the construction of the femininity and female empowerment. The results of the study suggest that the journalists and the mainstream public tend to marginalize and blame the woman in the sex-video case more than the woman in self-report case. In these discourses, the woman is given more agency in the self-report case partially because of her high socioeconomic status.
