China has just added another category in the things that it beats India on. CORRUPTION!
Read this.
Given the nature of government [or the lack of it] it is obviously more prone to corruption and red tape and political dis-empowerment of the citizens. So it is no surprise that China leads in the corruption index as well. But the real question is how much of China's corruption actually affects the common man there. For example corruption exists in so many western developed nations but happens at a high level. The ripple effect of it probably doesnt reach the common man or if it does, the effect on the common man is not as serious as it is in India.
In contrast, although corruption index ranks India 8th, the common man, the poorest citizens are depraved of their rights mostly due to corruption at the grassroots level or due to their general illiteracy.
