China corruption

Another spate of Chinese military corruption cases serves as a reminder that a decades-long practice and culture of corruption continues to flourish within the PLA.

China’s advancement in the Central American region has largely been through Chinese companies – ones that are not usually considered among the main bearers of the CCP’s global influence.

Since 2017, Central American countries have strengthened ties with China, based on promises of benefits. Instead, they face growing trade deficits and failed projects. 

The puzzle presented by these incidents can only be understood in the context of China’s police brutality and growing transnational repression.

In an apparent first, China has convicted two people for bribing foreign officials. The high-profile judgment sends a clear signal: the time has come to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Li Shangfu is the second senior Chinese official to disappear this year, following former Foreign Minister Qin Gang.

Although China’s military has made big strides in a short period of time, it faces persistent challenges such as corruption that hinder both its ability to reform and its ability to effectively fight wars.

New draft amendments propose to include private sector enterprises under the ambit of the Criminal Law’s anti-bribery and anti-corruption provisions.

The U.S. shouldn’t base its Latin America policy on trying to match China’s actions in the region.

Will reforms and crackdowns help to advance China’s core technology capabilities?

Unscrupulous individuals who frame themselves as persecuted dissidents can easily deceive a media environment poised to believe any negative story about China.
