Abstract: This article provides an overview of the current stage of academic research on corruption in China, including its various categories identified in the literature, the antecedents and consequences of corruption, as well as the governance mechanisms identified in the literature to mitigate corruption. By identifying major corruption related articles in journal outlets in China, organizing, summarizing, and synthesizing their main research methods and findings, we also highlight limitations of past research and propose avenues for future research in this field.
