Among the many acts of corruption, commercial bribery is the most rampant and has a strong impact on the world economic order, thus the legal resolution of commercial bribery in the trade of MNEs is crucial. This essay will mainly discuss effective legal regulatory measures for the commercial bribery of MNEs based on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and make suggestions for improving the existing legal system of the issue in China through comparative research methods.
