To build a „clean” belt and road: a critival review on China’s anti-corruption efforts

Summary/Abstract: While China is eager to demonstrate its leadership in the international arena through the Belt and Road Initiative, many countries along the Belt and Road are equally eager to welcome the Chinese’s investments in infrastructure-related projects. However, the authors submit that infrastructure projects are inherently susceptible to corruption. Worse still, the problem of corruption is rather rampant in some of the Belt and Road countries. As a party to the United Nations Convention against Corruption, China is duty-bound to assume greater state accountability. Despite the Chinese government has already implemented some impressive anti-corruption measures since President Xi Jin-ping took office in 2012, the authors argue that there is still much room for improvement for China in combating corruption, so as to keep theBelt and Road „clean”.
