Chaogang Yao: The root of China’s corruption is CCP’s autocratic system
The problem of China’s corruption draws substantial attention from the whole world. It is not that China government doesn’t fight against corruption, nor doesn't it want to fight against corruption. The problem is that it can’t regulate and constrain corruption effectively. The root of its prevalent corruption is that there is a corrupt social system existing in China, that is, the CCP’s sole-partied autocracy. Because under the system of autocracy, the powers held by governmental officials are not subjected to restriction. They are able to trade their powers with money, this is so-called the privilege.
Today’s Chinese communist authorities try their best to seize money and property, to occupy resources as long as they hold the power, despite theie ranks. These officials called themselves “the servants of the general public” and claimed that their works are serving for the masses; and yet, what they virtually do are things and deeds that bring damage to their civilians. The pains the general public suffered from such deeds are unspeakable. Currently, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger; this is the result of officials’ corruption protected by CCP’s sole-party autocracy.
The key point of China government’s anti-corruption is to fight against CCP’s sole-party autocracy, and yet this is the most difficult task. Anti-autocracy must confine authorities’ power; must not allow the powers hold by the officials to be converted into benefits. After solving the problem of CCP’s sole-party autocracy, it is possible for China to make a democratic and liberal system come true. Eventually, the problem of China’s corruption will be solved.
