China is ranked 76th out of 180 countries on the 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) by Transparency International. This means that China is perceived as having a relatively high level of corruption.
The CPI uses a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 being highly corrupt and 100 being very clean. China scored 42 points on the 2023 CPI. While this score represents a slight improvement from previous years, it still indicates that corruption remains a significant problem in China.
The Chinese government has taken steps to address corruption, such as launching anti-corruption campaigns and enacting stricter laws. However, corruption continues to be a major issue, particularly in areas such as bribery, embezzlement, and abuse of power.
