Abstract
Conflicts of interest are conceptualised as the incompatibility between the public interest associated with official duties and the interests derived from the private domain.Such conflicts do not always necessarily lead to corruption and may be distinguished from it.By examining the way in which they are regulated in China,we argue that although an intricate web of rules has been established,regulations alone cannot guarantee ethically sound behavior if there is no supportive value framework of like-minded civil servants.Rules require interpretation and if that discretion means that civil servants choose to follow an administrative culture and personal values that conflict with the regulations,they will have little effect.
