In his latest book, "China's Crony Capitalism: The Dynamics of Regime Decay", Professor Minxin Pei casts doubt on whether China's ongoing anti-corruption campaign can be truly effective in tackling endemic financial malfeasance in the country. We speak with Professor Minxin Pei on his views regarding the roots of corruption, the pervasiveness of crony capitalism and the future of democracy in the world's second largest economy.
