A set of new corruption patterns in China, including transnational graft and investment-like kickbacks, were disclosed in a blue book published Friday by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Xinhua reported. The flow and integration of resources, capital, cultures and information around the globe has cultivated cross-border corruption, while cash is no longer the preferred form of bribery, which has instead become long-term benefits such as favorable business contracts, access to resource and investments.
More and more cases of corruption in China are involving groups rather than individuals, and acts of corruption are being done through implicit means, the report said. It also noted that the fields of corruption have expanded from the business, political and judicial areas to social, cultural and educational sectors.?
