Definition
廉正 (lián zhèng) is an adjective meaning 'upright and honest', especially describing moral character in official or public contexts. It's more specific to incorruptibility and righteousness than 诚信 (chéng xìn, 'honest and trustworthy'), and similar to 廉洁 (lián jié, 'incorruptible') but with a stronger emphasis on personal moral uprightness.
