The magazines “Fangyuan Magazine” and “Chinese Lawyer” had representatives attending the Symposium.

Committee Members put forward amendment suggestions for crimes concerning gangland, illegal business operations, misstating registered capital, feigned capital contribution, flight of capital contribution and contractual fraud. They advanced suggestions for regulating crimes involving affray, taking bribes by taking advantage of specific relations or accepting property via the method of trading at prices significantly lower than market prices. They also proposed new legislation on offences involving marine pollution, litigation fraud, intentional destruction of private house property and infringing citizens’ privacy.

Regarding the General Principles of the Criminal Code some members proposed to overthrow the term limitation of 15 years for fixed-term imprisonment and activate control punishment as well. All of the members hoped that the Ninth Amendment of Criminal Code could soon be listed on the legislative agenda for the improvement of criminal laws.
