Abstract
Corruption and Anti-corruption has become a hotly debated issue in China, both among scholars as well as common people. No doubt, the scourge had existed since the founding of the PRC but most people, including the State and Party leaders, had not supposed that it would spread so fast and become so serious. The hatred of corruption in China is easy to understand. Despite this, however, its prevalence has resulted in two defeatist attitudes. The first is a pessimistic resignation that there is nothing that can be done and the second, an “ostrich” point of view that corruption is actually an efficient mechanism to smooth the path of development.
