"1. Types of Payments that May Constitute a Bribe
Articles 385, 386, 388, 389 and 390 of China's Criminal Law prohibit payments of "money or property" to public officials for the purpose of obtaining improper benefits, or public officials from accepting such payments. The Interpretation provides examples of types of "money or property" whose provision to public officials may violate these articles, including currency, property, and "proprietary interests." The proprietary interests category is intentionally broad and includes any kind of material interests that could be converted into currency. Examples of proprietary interests include house decorations, discharges of debts, provision of travel, or memberships. The Interpretation provides that the value of such proprietary interests will be calculated based on how much has actually been paid or how much the recipient would otherwise have paid for the underlying interests.
