A Comparison of the Corrupt Governments of France and China During the 16th-18th Century

This paper primarily examines the corruptive government systems in France and China during the 16th century. It begins by introducing the individual characteristics of corruption within each government, then moving on to comparison. This study aims to contribute additional resources and insights to the existing body of research on this topic, thereby aiding fellow researchers in their investigations. The methodology used in this research is literature review, which forms the basis for the exploration and understanding of the topic. This approach allows for a detailed examination of the various facets of governmental corruption in both countries. By doing so, this work not only delineates the specific characteristics of each government's corruption but also draws parallels and contrasts between them, offering a nuanced perspective on the nature and manifestation of corruption in different historical and cultural contexts. The conclusion drawn is that while both governments can be characterized as corrupt, they exhibit distinct features that set them apart.
