How bad is corruption in China? Dont ask.
Thats the answer Transparency International says it got from Chinese market research firms as it conducted a survey on the topic.
We approached a number of different local survey companies, but they did not feel that it would be possible to implement a survey of this nature in China without omitting many of the questions, a spokeswoman for the Berlin-based group said in an email response to questions.
On Tuesday, Transparency International published a report it had been touting in recent weeks as the biggest-ever public opinion survey on corruption.
Yet despite the breadth of its research 114,000 people surveyed in 107 countries Transparency International doesnt mention China once in its 48-page Global Corruption Barometer 2013. A pull-down tab of country reports on the organizations website skips from Chile to Colombia.
Its true that China is clearly the main omission in terms of the surveys country coverage, but we still firmly believe the Global Corruption Barometers overall messages and results are globally relevant, the spokeswoman said. Every time we do this research we seek to find ways to include China, but it remains a huge challenge.
