Abstract

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, while continuously strengthening the institutional system construction of corruption governance and promoting institutional reform, China has also unswervingly carried out the continuous high-pressure anti-corruption practice of "fighting tigers", "shooting flies" and "hunting foxes". In this paper, the secretary of municipal party Committee and mayor in prefecture-level cities are taken as the research objects, and the corruption cases which were publicly reported by the official media after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (November 2012) are collected, and the relevant indicators are selected to analyze the main characteristics of corruption of officials in prefecture-level cities. The study found that: The corruption of officials in prefecture-level cities is concentrated in four high-risk areas such as engineering, personnel, financial management and land. The average age of first corruption is 41.75 years, and the average incubation period of corruption is 11.43 years. Nearly 80% of problematic officials in the investigated cases have been promoted. As China's anti-corruption efforts intensify, the age of officials being investigated is getting younger. The interest chain of corruption is complicated, and corruption has contagious effect. Bribery is the most common and main form of corruption. Finally, this paper puts forward the countermeasures and suggestions for the corruption control of the officials in prefecture-level cities under the current situation.
