metadata.value: In this article, the authors analyze the norms of criminal law in relation to corruption behavior
  in China, paying attention to the fact that these norms are one of the key elements of several
  stages of changes in the Criminal Code of China. Thus, the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal
  Code of China in 2015 marks a new level in the field of combating corruption crimes and demonstrates the countermeasures of the central government of China in this area. The publication of
  Joint Explanations on some issues of the application of laws in criminal cases related to corruption of the Supreme People’s Court of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Supreme People’s Prosecutor’s Office of China from 2016 further explained the regulations about the size of
  bribes, the circumstances of the case, and the mitigation of punishment for crimes related to
  corruption, but it also played an important role in law-enforcement practices in cases related to
  corruption. In particular, a clear correlation was established between the rules of qualification
  and sentencing for corruption crimes in relation to the circumstances of the case. The authors
  conclude that in addition to the death penalty, the current criminal policy of China provides for
  the use of life imprisonment, which constantly hangs with the “sword of Damocles” and has a
  preventive effect on officials who have not yet solved the moral dilemma. The authors note that
  in the criminal policy of the PRC there are still some rough edges and controversial approaches,
  in particular, the question of mitigation of punishment, its correlation with the public danger of
  an illegal act, etc. The article provides a content analysis of the Ninth Amendement and Joint
  Explanations, which proposed a number of new approaches based on the theoretical provisions
  of criminal law to the prevention of corruption crimes. In conclusion, the authors state that the
  severity of punishment in China is not an end in itself, it is subject to other value aspirations. The
  decline in the use of the death penalty was therefore an international trend, and the approach to
  the absolute use of the death penalty for corruption and bribery in China had been changed to
  a relative one, taking into account the circumstances of the case.
