Paper Abstract: Examines corruption in both countries. Economic transformation of both countries. China's economic reforms and rapid growth; new opportunities and incentives for corruption. Indonesia's economic, financial, political and social crises; widespread corruption. Anti-corruption efforts. Types of corruption that exist. Reform measures that would aid in reducing corruption on economic, legal and political levels. Paper Introduction: Both China and Indonesia are undergoing economic transformation. China’s economic reforms and rapid growth have spawned new opportunities and incentives for corruption. Indonesia is undergoing its worst economic crisis that has spawned natural, economic, financial and political crises. In both countries corruption is systemic. In Indonesia, corruption is so prevalent and widespread that it is known by the acronym KKN for “corruption, collusion and nepotism” (Marshall, 1998, 1). In China, corruption is also systemic but officials are reluctant to discuss it or disclose information. Nevertheless, the Economist (2002) notes that “every case that comes to light further exposes a system that breeds corruption at every level” (1).
