The Chinese corporate criminal responsibility is featured by the “Double Punishments” imposed both on the Unit who commit a crime and the persons who are directly in charge. As an attributable liability, corporate criminal responsibility requires more precise and detailed principles of attribution in the national criminal law. Unfortunately, it has not archived yet in Chinese Criminal Law. As well, at current, only one kind of monetary penalty, the fine, can be imposed on the Unit who commit a crime.

On enumerating and analyzing Chinese criminal legislations concerning corporate criminal responsibility, the author finds the main deficiency in it and recommend on how to perfect it.
