This comprehensive book delves into a novel criminological perspective on white-collar crime and corporate lawbreaking in China, offering a deep exploration of various factors contributing to these phenomena. One of the key challenges highlighted is the lack of reliable official data, which hinders a comprehensive understanding of the scale and nature of these crimes. The book also delves into the intricate web of guanxi, or interpersonal connections, and corruption, which play a significant role in facilitating these offenses. State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are examined as a unique context for corporate lawbreaking, with their complex ownership structures and political connections complicating enforcement and regulatory efforts. Media censorship is explored as a tool used by the Chinese government to control public discourse and suppress information related to corruption and lawbreaking.

The enforcement and regulatory capacity of Chinese authorities are scrutinized, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses in combating these crimes. The book further explores the domestic, regional, and global consequences of white-collar crime and corporate lawbreaking in China, emphasizing their impact on economic development, social stability, and international relations.

In conclusion, this book provides a valuable contribution to the study of criminology and corporate law in China. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the various factors contributing to these crimes, shedding light on the complex dynamics that shape them. By examining the intersection of guanxi, corruption, SOEs, media censorship, enforcement, and regulatory capacity, the book offers insightful theoretical and policy considerations that can inform future research and efforts to combat these crimes.
