The Extraterritorial Application of Chinese Criminal Laws:Current Situation,Problems and Solutions
In the context of globalization,rigorous territorialism can no longer limit the trend of extraterritorial expansion of domestic criminal laws.Individual countries have long arbitrarily exerted long-arm jurisdiction and imposed unilateral sanctions on a global scale,while illegal infringements beyond the borders have been of frequent occurrence as well,it appears to be a growing international trend on strengthening the extraterritorial application of domestic criminal laws to protect relevant interests.The existing rules of extraterritorial application of criminal laws in China are relatively conservative and difficult to effectively connect with the legislative philosophy,which in turn affects judicial initiative and law enforcement efforts.It is necessary for China to break through conservatism,take specific principles as guidance,and promote the formation of a complete system for the extraterritorial application of criminal laws from the three dimensions of legislation,justice and law enforcement,so as to better safeguard national sovereignty,security,development interests,and protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and entities.
