Many have the impression that the extent of corruption in China has increased dramatically, but this conclusion is not warranted. The phenomenon has existed for some time (Kwong, 1997) but has been increasingly brought into the open, not least because the ruling elite have realised that rampant corruption seriously jeopardises the successful continuation of the economic transformation process and will also endanger their own claim to power in the medium term.
