Polityka przeciwdziałania praniu pieniędzy w Chińskiej Republice Ludowej

Abstract

Współczesne Chiny są postrzegane jako państwo, które efektywnie przemodelowało swój ustrój gospodarczy. Może się wydawać, że zoptymalizowane mechanizmy kontroli nad gospodarką w skuteczny sposób eliminują jakiekolwiek możliwości nadużyć, również tych o charakterze finansowym. Niemniej wprowadzone ułatwienia dla zagranicznych transferów kapitałowych spowodowały też wzrost skali procederu prania pieniędzy, definiowanego jako wprowadzenie do obrotu środków pieniężnych pochodzących z nielegalnych dochodów. Od początku XXI w. Chiny podjęły intensywne wysiłki na rzecz wdrożenia mechanizmów zapobiegania przestępstwom finansowym i starały się zaimplementować narzędzia funkcjonujące w tym obszarze w państwach wysokorozwiniętych. W artykule podjęto próbę analizy polityki przeciwdziałania praniu pieniędzy stosowanej w Chińskiej Republice Ludowej. Przedstawiono genezę, założenia i cele przeprowadzonych reform. Nastąpiła również ocena skuteczności i efektywności wdrożonych rozwiązań.


Anti‑money laundering policy in the People’s Republic of China

Contemporary China is perceived as a country that has effectively remodeled its economic system. It may seem that optimized control mechanisms over the economy effectively eliminate any possibility of abuse, including those of a financial nature. Nevertheless, the introduced facilitations for foreign capital transfers also resulted in an increase in the scale of money laundering, defined as the illegal process of making large amounts of money generated by criminal activity appear to have come from a legitimate source. Since the beginning of the 21st century, China has made intensive efforts to implement financial crime prevention mechanisms and has tried to introduce tools functioning in this area in high developed countries. The article attempts to analyze the anti‑money laundering policy applied in the People’s Republic of China. The genesis, assumptions and goals of the reforms are presented. There is also an assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the implemented solutions.
