Before moving to the specific research focus of this study-corporate bribery-it is necessary to give a brief overview of the relevant provisions on bribery crimes in the Chinese Criminal Law. As shown in Table 4.1, the Criminal Law defines several different types of bribery offenses: Article 164 stipulates “Bribe-offering to non-state functionary” Article 390 stipulates “Bribe-offering” Article 391 stipulates “Bribe-offering to unit” Article 392 stipulates “introducing bribes,” and Article 393 specifically stipulates “Bribe-offering by unit” These different types of bribery offenses vary in terms of the bribe-givers, the recipients, the amount of money involved, and the sentencing standards. The main concern of this study is bribery at the organizational level, namely corporate bribery as defined in Article 393 of the Criminal Law.
