The Evolution Of Government-Business Relationship And Anti-Corruption Campaign In China(1978-)

With the development of anti-corruption campaign since the 18 th CPC National Congress,corruption has become a hot issue of research.The "pro" and "clear" government-business relationship has brought a new perspective for the study of corruption governance.This paper argues that bad government-business relationship causes corruption in developing countries.Different from the study of government-business relationship from the perspective of relational capital and resources,this paper focuses on the study of government-business relationship in government and private enterprises as well as public officials and private entrepreneurs.It intends to define and theoretically analyze government-business relationship and corruption,and divides the type of government-business relationship from two dimensions of "pro" and "clear".Then based on this,the economic development since the reform and opening up can be divided into three periods,and the evolution of government-business relationship and the subsequent corruption problems in each period were discussed.From 1978 to 1992,private enterprises experienced a step-by-step growth from nothing,and rent-seeking corruption rose and grew.The overall relationship in this period can be simply summarized by "clearing" rather than "pro".The frequent political-business interaction between 1992 and 2012 brought about a fundamental change in government-business relationship.Local governments and private enterprises were “closed” rather than “clear” with each other.The frequent rent-seeking transactions formed a collusion between government and enterprises,which led to a large-scale alliance at last.After the 18 th CPC National Congress in 2012,government-business relationship showed a dynamic process of “pro” and “clear”.The results of vigorous anti-corruption were remarkable,but the governance of corruption still needs to be promoted.Finally,this paper makes a historical review and summary of the corruption governance work and the current anti-corruption proposals,and provides relevant suggestions and countermeasures for the development of corruption governance under the perspective of "pro-" and "clear" government-business relationship.
