Chinese courts have chosen a strong stance against the rising tide of commercial bribery cases and is working to form a "high pressure" circumstance against it, said Xiong Xuanguo, vice president of China's Supreme Court, at the conference.

But related trials, he said, will be strictly in accordance with what is written down in the criminal code and adhere to the principle of combining lenity with severity.

"We will also work to prevent any trend of exaggeration when handling such cases," he said.

Commercial bribery, Li said, has grown into one of the foes against China's development since it has provided a hotbed for power-money trade and other types of corruption.

"It undermines both the social ethics and the construction of a harmonious society," he said.

More supervision and restrictions on power should be adopted and intensified to a larger degree to prevent power abuse, he said.

"This is one of the core parts of China's anti commercial bribery strategy," he said.
