Zhang, Jinglei: the root of the problem of corruption in China is a corrupt system
张惊雷（Zhang, Jinglei）
China＇s corruption problem, the government claimed to have been seriously address the matter. In recent years, the Chinese government launched several anti-corruption campaign, but also a number of large and small punish corrupt officials. However, the corruption of the wind did not disappear, but there are a growing trend.
The root of the problem of corruption in China is a socialist system itself. Officials in the bureaucracy of a large grant of power, and there is always the chance of corruption. Socialist system structure, the great concentration of power in the hands of state officials, who control a lot of other people want a rare commodity, so this provides an opportunity for their corruption.
* Rich strong motivation lead to official corruption * Before 1978 China market economy, corruption, Chinese officials are relatively lighter, then reveal the rich will be condemned. Corruption of officials in those years are often gray areas, for example, the use of public funds to build staff housing, extension office or using public funds to treat and so on. In the reform period, the status of Chinese government officials has changed. The official slogan has become a get rich is glorious, be encouraged to make money, the government allowed private ownership of assets.
The Chinese government encourages people to take advantage of new opportunities provided by the market economy fortune. Successful entrepreneurs, including some by unethical means, including rich people, known as heroes and models. These developments encourage people to pursue material wealth, and thus to provide a strong incentive to corruption. However, Once you have the motivation, you must also have the opportunity to job. At that time the Chinese government, is to touch the stones to explore ways to introduce this kind of market reforms. But this piecemeal approach to reform has created opportunities for the corruption. Production of steel, for example, state-owned steel mills to invest government funds, these mills will need to steel produced by a certain quota to the State. In order to encourage increased productivity, the government allows state-run steel mills to get fixed on the outside of the market at a higher price, the manufacturers can keep those profits. While some factories put the money to improve the conditions of workers and factories. But there are some plant managers put these profits pocketed.
Chinese government departments, the general phenomenon engaged in commercial activities caused some problems. These administrative agencies often use their regulatory powers to allow some companies to get the benefits, because these companies have their own interests. They may restrict competition by some of the provisions and their companies do not allow the establishment of competing companies. Or when some foreign companies wishing to enter the Chinese market, the power to approve the use of these administrative agencies at their disposal to force foreign companies and their affiliated companies joint venture.
Therefore, the separation of government and business is also not entirely selfish behavior, a major cause widespread in local government.
All in all, the root of China＇s corruption problem is a corrupt system.
