Corruption and illegal drugs can have a corrosive effect on a
government's ability to enforce the rule of law as well as its
capacity to provide basic services for its constituents. The
purpose of this research is to explore the ties between these two
problems in China and the possible long term effects. Both issues
have been intertwined throughout China's recent history and will
impact the country's future. An examination of China's history and
culture reveals a continuous pattern, known as the dynastic cycle,
which has led to the rise and fall of numerous political orders.
The country once again appears to be walking down an all too
familiar path which leads towards internal turmoil and strife. The
effects of corruption and illicit narcotics play a role in this
pattern and indicate that China is possibly moving towards another
tumultuous period. Statistical analysis of corruption cases and
illegal drug seizures in China revealed distinct patterns that
bring into question the efficacy of China's campaigns against both
internal scourges. If left unchecked, these problems, coupled with
external pressures such as globalization, could push China into a
period of instability.
