Abstract

Decentralization of decision-making power from the central government to local governments, and from local government to communities and villages are a salient feature of China’s reform. It has invigorated Chinese economy but created rampant corruption at the same time. It has been proved that the increased discretionary power provides opportunities and incentives for local officials to corrupt. Lack of institutional and societal supervisions make it less contained. This paper will discuss how to control local corruption by accountability from village democracy using a case study in Qing County of Heber Province, China. The information and data are collected by interviews of one author in that county.
