Well written, edgy, theoretical, and disturbing, it illuminates how white-collar and corporate crime have been silent companions of Chinas glamorous economic growth over the past four decades. - Liqun Cao, Professor, Ontario Tech University, Ontario, Canada This book provides a novel criminological understanding of white-collar crime and corporate lawbreaking in China focusing on: lack of reliable official data, guanxi and corruption, state-owned enterprises, media censorship, enforcement and regulatory capacity.
