Corruption is vividly called “Cancer of Politics”, which universally exists in the organism of theregime. Encountering the worldwide, historic tough problem, only by constantly combating corruption andbuilding a clean government can the rulers avoid the fate of destruction.Since the reform and opening, within a short span of30years, China covered more than300years’industrialization of the developed countries, in which the whole society has increasingly become intomodernization, informationization and urbanization, and condition of the world, the party and the nationhas greatly changed. Meanwhile, new trends and new features appear in the corruption, which bring aboutunprecedented challenges for China’s anti-corruption and advocacy of clean government. Corruption hasspread to each field of our social life, intensifying to a “universal corruption” trend, and its means havebecome more “covert” and “technical”. At the same time, the construction of institutions in China’santi-corruption and advocacy of clean government has many disadvantages: the contradiction betweenpolitical authority and legal authority, the contradiction between decentralized organizations and the overallefficiency, the lack of independence guarantee, etc.As China’s special administrative region, Hong Kong’s clean governmental affairs environment andorderly market environment are worldwide famous, in which ICAC (Independent Commission AgainstCorruption), as Hong Kong’s institution of anti-corruption and advocacy of clean government, has played acrucial part. The mainland and Hong Kong have two systems, but in only one China. ICAC in Hong Konghas detached independence in anti-corruption and building a clean government, whose model ofanti-corruption is a trinity of law enforcement, prevention and education, and has extensive rights, thepeculiarities of which may benefit our present construction of anti-corruption and advocacy of cleangovernment and should be learned.Via the studying and analysis of ICAC in Hong Kong, together with the present dilemma andchallenge in anti-corruption and advocacy of clean government confronting China, invaluable suggestionsto perfect the system of anti-corruption and advocacy of clean government in China’s mainland are putforward as follows: to integrate the institutions of anti-corruption and advocacy of clean government in China’s mainland and establish a centralized, widely empowered and detachedly independent institution ofanti-corruption; to strengthen the internal and external supervision over the institutions of anti-corruption;to establish and perfect the anti-corruption system of both punishment and prevention; to create anatmosphere of comprehensive anti-corruption and to establish more strict reporting system, etc.
