International Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: In China, whistleblowing has both political and social functions. For the government, whistleblowing works as a social control mechanism, especially for containing corruption of its officials, while for ordinary citizens, whistleblowing provides them with a legal weapon to fight against official malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance. This paper examines the causes, processes, and consequences of whistleblowing with an emphasis on the difficulties and dilemmas in blowing the whistle. It argues that given its important functions and implications, whistleblowing should be further legalized, encouraged, and protected to the largest possible extent in China. - Reproduced
