I genuinely don't know much about corruption in China (or other places, really), so I'm pretty ambivalent.
But when I look at transparency.org's methodology, it raises some minor doubts. What they do is they collect surveys from 12 different institutions, 10 of which are based in US allied countries. This, combined with the fact that the US is in some kind of cold war with China, makes me a bit doubtful of its veracity. Analogously, how trustworthy would I deem an assessment of America made by Iranian, Chinese, and Russian institutions? Not very.
I'm not saying China isn't corrupt, it may very well be. I don't know. But I prefer suspending judgement until I've looked into it properly.
