Combating corruption
As China moves into the third
year of its far-reaching anti-corruption campaign, experts and officials are
worrying that without the grease of bribes, projects are stagnating and the
economy is taking a hit.
Across China, more than
100,000 officials have been disciplined since President Xi Jinping’s
anti-corruption drive began, according to the government’s own figures. As a
result, many others are sitting on their hands, delaying decisions and failing
to grant approvals for investment projects, either out of fear that they could
be caught up in a future corruption probe, or because, without a bribe, they simply
lack any incentive to act.
