Abstract
Along with the establishment and development of market economy, China has seen a great progress in integrity construction, and researches on it have become the focus of Chinese contemporary business ethics. On the one hand, it is a necessity of standardizing the order of market economy and putting its development on the right track. Under the planned economy system in which business organizations were managed by governments, problems deriving from economic activities were conciliated and solved in general by superior administrations, and so the problem of business credit did not stand out, and honesty and credit as a social system has not been built. As market economy has been established and development, an urgent need is to set up a social honesty and credit system and modify it. On the other hand, as a result of counterfeit and inferior commodities becoming a public hazard, increasing economic scandals coming out from financial market, people thirst for sincerity from the bottom of hearts, and hence integrity as a virtue has unprecedentedly received the most comprehensive approbation in whole society. Furthermore, after China’s entry into WTO and promise to toe the mark, it is especially necessary for Chinese enterprises and individuals to comply with the principle of integrity in international economic activities. Integrity construction in contemporary China calls for statute development as much as moral improvement, and so far law and regulations have been constituted and amended in three aspects: administrative credit system, business credit system and individual credit system. Meanwhile, to be honest and creditable is taken as a basic moral principle in “the Implementation Outline of Construction of Civil Morality” (2001)
