Honest Governance and “Clean Rule” Receive Mass Coverage in Chinese Press. Corruption, Nepotism and Financial Crimes in the Chinese Communist Party in the Second Half of the 1980s and the Chinese Authorities’ Attempts to Eradicate These Problems in P

Summary/Abstract: The reforms initiated by Deng Xiaoping in the People’s Republic of China at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s brought limited political freedoms and wide-sweeping economic changes. Political reforms failed to catch up with changes in the Chinese economy, which led to large-scale corruption, nepotism and organized crime involving members of the Chinese Communist Party and the associated persons. These adverse phenomena were not effectively eradicated by the government, which resulted in social discontent that culminated in a series of protests in the spring of 1989. The protests were brutally put down by the army. The article analyzes instances of corruption, nepotism and financial crime reported by Polish diplomats who were well versed in the internal affairs of the People’s Republic of China at the time.
