Minxin Pei is the Tom and Margot Pritzker '72 Professor of Government and directs the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at Claremont McKenna College. In this talk, he reveals compelling insights from over two hundred corruption cases involving multiple officials and businessmen from his new book ?China?s Crony Capitalism.?
Pei traces the origins of China?s present-day troubles to the series of incomplete reforms from the post-Tiananmen era that decentralized the control of public property without clarifying its ownership. It created a legacy of criminality and entrenched privilege that he believes will make any movement toward democracy difficult and disorderly.
