The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) is the first legally binding global anti-corruption instrument, and its own review mechanism provides a channel for states and civil society to participate in the commitment to combat corruption. Theoretically, this article engages with the theory of international regime to offer a broad framework explaining why and how China has adapted to the international anti-corruption regime. As a response, legally, this article analyses both good practices and shortcomings in China’s legislation and law enforcement mechanisms in terms of international anti-corruption cooperation based on Chapter IV (International Cooperation) of the UNCAC. The data collection and analysis methods include documentary review, interviews, questionnaires, and expert investigation. Then, after elaborating the most recent institutional anti-corruption achievements achieved by China since 2012, the author concludes that legal and ideological obstacles to China’s full adaptation into the global anti-corruption community remain. Thus, some suggestions for how to improve the legislation and enforcement of China’s international anti-corruption cooperation are provided.
