- Abstract
In the wave of globalisation, multinational corporations have become a significant driver of economic development. However, one of the problems they face is bribery, which seriously disrupts the international market economy and harms the interest and vested benefits of countries. In China, particularly, both foreign companies engaging in bribery within China and Chinese companies engaging in bribery abroad have posed a serious issue and challenge. Relying solely on the legal regulations is insufficient to solve this particular issue. It is essential for multinational corporations to establish compliance systems to combat bribery. Therefore, Chinese multinational corporations urgently need to develop compliance systems that are tailored to local circumstances to prevent cross-border bribery. By implementing effective compliance systems, companies can mitigate bribery risks, reduce criminal liabilities, and enhance their corporate image and reputation. At the same time, government departments should strengthen guidance and supervision of corporate compliance, and form a collaborative effort to jointly combat cross-border bribery activities. This article aims to explore the necessity of multinational corporations engaging in anti-bribery measures and establishing effective compliance practices against bribery. Doctrinal approach is employed for this research, in which. primary sources and secondary sources such as legislation, official reports from the government and non-governmental organisations, internation conventions and books are referred.
