ABSTRACT

This study will analyze the China’s endeavors to elevate the quality of government from the periods of Mao toward Xi Ginping onward by centering on the subject of anti-corruption reforms. I will make use of a historical approach toward a research goal of unravelling the China’s government performance from a long-term angle. Therefore such principal independent factors as actors, structure, regulations, institutions, events etc. will be repeatedly utilized as the criteria of comparison as to each anti-corruption regimes’ performance(dependent variable), Those political thoughts concerning the elimination of corruption were galore in the time of the old Chinese history. Mao tended to borrow the traditional ideas as the cornerstone of his movement. Afterward anti-corruption reforms have been gone through the periods of rebuilding (Deng,1978-92), developmental (Chang, 1992-2002) and accelerating (Hu, 2002-2012), and finally to the current skyrocketing periods in a era of Xi Ginping(2013- ). In fact, each top leaders have utilized anti-corruption movements in the early tenure since the country’s opening. However accomplishing the complete abolition or even some reduction of corruption appears to be very hard to be achieved without concomitantly transforming the current communist power structure which has no resisting rivals. Xi Ginping took the anti-corruption agenda as the top state priority, and undertaking active implementation of each reform programs namely political wind(正風), peoples’ wind (民風) and fair society construction. It is not certain to predict correctly whether Xi Ginping’s reform mongering behaviors will be successful in destructing more than 30yrs-old cemented corruption structure with his strong reform programs. Nonetheless we can make pretty positive prospects for Xi’s anti-corruption reforms will be getting forward and elevated through more efficient supervisory devices.
