Abstract
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, while continuously strengthening the institutional system construction of corruption governance and promoting institutional reform, China has also unswervingly carried out the continuous high-pressure anti-corruption practice of fighting tigers, shooting flies and hunting foxes. In this paper, the secretary of municipal party Committee and mayor in prefecture-level cities are taken as the research objects, and the corruption cases which were publicly reported by the official media after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (November 2012) are collected, and the relevant indicators are selected to analyze the main characteristics of corruption of officials in prefecture-level cities. The study found that: The corruption of officials in prefecture-level cities is concentrated in four high-risk areas such as engineering, personnel, financial management and land. The average age of first corruption is 41.75 years, and the average incubation period of corruption is 11.43 years. Nearly 80% of problematic officials in the investigated cases have been promoted. As China's anti-corruption efforts intensify, the age of officials being investigated is getting younger. The interest chain of corruption is complicated, and corruption has contagious effect. Bribery is the most common and main form of corruption. Finally, this paper puts forward the countermeasures and suggestions for the corruption control of the officials in prefecture-level cities under the current situation.
Highlights
After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China has made a series of important achievements in various fields such as economic and social development, but at the same time, corruption has become a severe challenge in the process of China's modernization.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has comprehensively promoted the strict administration of the party, strengthened the building of a clean and honest government, resolutely and severely punished corruption, and proposed that anti-corruption should be "no forbidden zone, full coverage, zero tolerance", and constantly strengthen corruption governance
The cases of officials who have retired for many years have been investigated and reported frequently, which has released a strong signal that China's corruption governance is not relaxed and does not stop
Based on the high-pressure anti-corruption practice of the party and the government since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, this paper adopts the method of case statistics and analysis, adheres to the principle of "seeking truth from facts", and takes the corruption cases reported by the state media as the research object
Summary
After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China has made a series of important achievements in various fields such as economic and social development, but at the same time, corruption has become a severe challenge in the process of China's modernization. Chinese domestic scholars have studied the root causes, characteristics and trends of corruption in China based on the reality of China's economic and social development. Ni Xing and Wang Lijing (2003) objectively measured the overall situation of corruption in China by adopting the relevant information of corruption cases investigated and dealt with by official institutions such as discipline inspection and supervision organs, procuratorial organs and judicial organs [6]. Based on the high-pressure anti-corruption practice of the party and the government since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, this paper adopts the method of case statistics and analysis, adheres to the principle of "seeking truth from facts", and takes the corruption cases reported by the state media as the research object. This paper attempts to answer the following questions through empirical research: what are the characteristics and trends of corruption of officials in prefecture-level cities? What are the main risk areas? In the future, what measures should be taken to prevent and control the corruption of the officials in prefecture-level cities?
