Corruption: A global issue
The CPC's anti-corruption drive comes at a time when the problem of corruption is very much a global issue and many people worldwide are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the political process.
On July 9, 2013, Transparency International released the 2013 Global Corruption Barometer, which draws on a survey of more than 114,000 respondents in 107 countries, addressing people's direct experiences with bribery and detailing their opinions on corruption in their countries' major institutions.
The survey found that bribery is widespread around the globe, with 27 percent of respondents reporting that they had paid a bribe in the last 12 months when interacting with public institutions and services.
More than 1 in 2 people (54 percent) thought that their government is largely or entirely run by groups acting in their own interests rather than for the benefit of citizens.
