Political Corruption In China

1071 Words5 Pages

Society seems to be somewhat more structured and organized than the past despite the occurring that flash on the news every day. Though, it never seems to grow closer to Utopia, or what we call an ideal society. It seems as if everything rotates around power, wealth, and money. These are the factors that occurs something that hinders the development of countries so much; corruption. Transparency International, a global organization against corruption defines governmental corruption, or also called political corruption, as ‘abuse of entrusted power for private gain which can be divided by the amount of money involved’. Global infrastructure and Anti-Corruption Centre provides two possible reasons for political corruption. It states that individuals …show more content…

Transparency International states that China should unify its penal codes with the anti-corruption legal framework of the UNCAC. Laws regarding economic and social regulations should be clarified; the implementation standards should be elucidated and completely open to the public, thus decreasing public servants’ discretion and room for corruption. In addition to that, China should consider forming an independent Judiciary, for fairness in legal processes. Currently, the communist party appoints judges, which can bring dishonest verdicts and unjustifiable consequences. Just as the Republic of Korea or the United States of America nominates judges in methods that do not involve main government parties, China should do so as well. As for the economic problems with the anti-corruption policy, China believes regardless of the money it takes to maintain it, it should be definitely funded. The cost of dealing with the consequences and damages of corruption (‘the cost of corruption’) is higher than the cost needed for preventing future occurring, in this case, the anti-graft campaign. When funds for constructing public facilities, for example, are used for private usages, the disaster could be as serious as bridges crashing down, and buildings collapsing. For public welfare and a better society, this anti-corruption campaign should be constantly supported even with enormous time consumption and economic or social

    China does not prohibit cruel and unusual punishment in its constitution. In fact, according to “Reasons for Harsh Punishments in China” by Na Jiang and Yifang Fu, the only thing that China has signed that prohibits capital abuse is the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This article states that China, despite signing an agreement that states a fair trial and following punishment is necessary, continues to use the Strike Hard policy. Strike Hard, as defined by the article, is “guidelines to give harsher punishments within the range of discretionary sentences and to promote faster trials within legal limits to crack down on serious crimes” (Jiang, Fu). An example is that there are 46 crimes punishable by death in Mainland China, many of which do not line up with the US’s capital charges.

    In the Rio Grande Valley, public corruption runs rampant. The border city of Mission is a hot spot for drug traffickers and has become an area of concern for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Program, also known as HIDTA, since the 1990s. Every day drug runners, private drug dealers, and the continuous flow of illegal immigrants create an atmosphere of temptation for law enforcement agents. Unfortunately, the small town of Mission has witnessed federal, state, and local law enforcement officers drift toward the dark side, letting temptation cast a shadow over their morals and beliefs.

  • Presidential Corruption

    138 Words  | 1 Pages

    Why do we see variation in first-term president 's corruption? Previous literature of regional comparative politics only provide limited accounts of presidential corruption. In this paper, I provide a theory that presidential term-limit matters with regard to first-term president 's corruption. I argue that when a president is elected at the first time, a president who is under single-term presidency---presidency under which a president cannot be reelected due to constitutional limit---is more likely to perpetrate corruption than under multi-term presidency---presidency under which a president can be reelected at least one more term. It is attributed to whether reelection incentive exists.

  • Corruption In Canada

    814 Words  | 4 Pages

    At the turn of the century, Canada had just been a country for 37 years. In those years it had seen no wars and their only threat seemed to be the United States, with who they had been at peace for a century. Since 1896, the Laurier government had succeeded in building a new Canada that was more industrialized, more urban, more diversified in its ethnic composition and in the values of various interest groups. Unfortunately, Laurier’s success waned when the compromises he was making no longer satisfied both the English and the French of Canada. This paper is an examination of how the Naval Crisis, Reciprocity and the corruption imbedded in the Laurier government eliminated the chances of Laurier winning the 1911 Canadian election.

  • What Are The Similarities Between Australia And China

    926 Words  | 4 Pages

    Elections in China are based on a hierarchical electoral system, meaning the leader is directly elected from a group of representatives, who are elected by the voters of the locals in that area; much similar like how Australians can vote in electorate. The difference is that the Chinese government is a single party state, creating a single centralized focus of power within the country. This power is granted to the Paramount Leader, who is the highest leader of the party and the state. Due to so much power concentrated in a small group of people, there are often reports of corrupt high officials from within the party. The Transparency International had ranked Australia in the top 10 countries with low levels of corruption and China 80th

    During the 1877 through 1920 the government's role wasn't really expanding, instead people were getting furious that the government weren't really doing anything to improve life so they started going on strikes, making unions, and bringing people of different cause together to try to force the government into being useful. However, this only led to political corruption, people saying they would do something to help the people and people would believe and put their trust into this "person" to only be blackmailed in the end. These "people" were called political bosses and they had their little organization or political machines and people would do them favors to gain jobs or etc. This growing "government" was a mixed bag for the American people,

  • Corruption In David Stein's Judging The Judges

    David Stein, in the novel “Judging The Judges” talks about the different aspects of corruption within the justice system and how the judges have a massive negative impact. He believes that judges are given powers of dictatorship and that “we cannot afford to cede these great powers and to have them bartered away by politicians”(2). To prevent such things from happening is considered an impossible task and while that may be, there are ways to eliminate corruption among the judges. Many counties have anti-corruption agencies, however, the United States does not. Conversely, the United States does have anti-corruption organizations and acts that help contain and eradicate the spread of corruption.

  • Theme Of Corruption In Julius Caesar

    974 Words  | 4 Pages

    Corruption is defined as dishonest or illegal behavior, especially by powerful people, and just like its definition, corruption and power go hand in hand. The more power a person has, generally, the easier it is for them to be corrupted. Just like in Julius Caesar where power and corruption are very prevalent, and most of the leaders in Julius Caesar became corrupted by their power, but in some rare cases leaders have avoided corruption, these people are very valuable in society, and must not be taken for granted. Just like many other leaders in Julius Caesar, Caesar was corrupted by his power. He wasn’t corrupt in the normal sense, he was socially corrupt in the fact that he didn’t stick to the social norms of respecting fellow senators in

    Canada has different levels and branches of government for many different reasons, such as to help prevent corruption and to help locals solve local issues. First of all, is to prevent corruption. You can see easily if one person controls everything, things can get out of hand, such as countries like North Korea and the USSR. But when you split up the responsibility to lots of people, it becomes a lot harder to corrupt. For example, if one person in the government of a democratic country is corrupt, they won’t be able to do much as they are only one in thousands of civil servants.
