On 29 August 2015, the National People’s Congress enacted the Ninth Amendments to the PRC Criminal Law. The enactment followed two rounds of public consultation, for which draft amendments were released in November 2014 and July 2015. The amendments will become effective on 1 November 2015.

Among other things, the amendments concern both the anti-corruption and data privacy areas, suggesting the continued focus by the PRC authorities on these areas of law and the desire to bring PRC legislation in line with international standards.  To read more from our Corporate Crime team, click here.
