China has had strong anti-corruption laws for many years. On 1 January 1980, the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC Criminal Law”), containing the criminal offences of bribery and corruption, came into effect. The PRC Criminal Law later underwent a sea change to modernise and rejuvenate the laws in 1997, with enhanced provisions on bribery and corruption offences.
