Tensions in Anti-Corruption Systems
摘要
China’s anti-corruption system is marked by a distinct dual-track structure, operating simultaneously within the Communist Party’s internal disciplinary framework and the state legal system. These two systems—though overlapping and sometimes cooperative—differ significantly in organizational structure, legal norms, sources of authority, and operational logic. Intra-party anti-corruption is primarily enforced by disciplinary inspection bodies (such as the CCDI and local commissions), whereas state-level anti-corruption relies on the Constitution and laws like the Criminal Law, implemented by judicial institutions such as procuratorates and courts.
