Contemporary China is economically a state capitalist regime and politically a single‐party authoritarian regime. It is not a rule of law regime. To what degree does its legal and regulatory framework create a basis for relatively stable expectations by international players accustomed to the predictability offered by law? I look at this question by considering the relationship between formal rules and on‐the‐ground enforcement in cases in which Chinese or foreign (or both) authorities investigate as “corrupt” some activity by a foreign firm or foreign national conducting business in China. My aim ultimately is to build a descriptive model of what Chinese authorities view as corrupt in international business in China. Such a model has practical value: some 35 years after China’s economic opening to the outside world, American firms conducting business there are routinely surprised by what appears to be an ad hoc perspective on “unacceptable” business practices. Formal rules offer limited guidance. Such a model also illuminates a question of theoretical interest to political scientists: namely, the relationship between formal rules and actual practice—and in a setting of great international importance, where rulers who routinely flout rules have great interest in attracting foreign trade and investment.
