| Summary / Abstract (Note) | When the Berlin-based group Transparency International released its annual ranking of international corruption levels in December 2014, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded with a blistering statement. Chinese authorities were upset that their country had sunk from 80th to 100th place on the watchdog’s influential Corruption Perceptions Index, even though Beijing was pursuing a high-profile anticorruption campaign . “As a fairly influential international organization,” a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said , “Transparency International should seriously examine the objectiveness and impartiality of its Corruption Perceptions Index.” |
