Legal analysis: people who are engaged in sales and customer service will certainly spend time and energy to maintain customer relationships. It is normal to give some gifts on holidays. Bribery is completely different from giving gifts. According to the law, in order to seek illegitimate interests, giving property to relevant staff members belongs to bribery. The boundary between the crime of bribery and the crime of gift-giving lies in whether the actor subjectively uses the convenience of the position of the national staff to seek illegitimate interests for himself when giving gifts to the national staff.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Criminal Law.

Article 389 Whoever gives money or property to a state functionary in order to seek illegitimate interests is guilty of bribery. In economic exchanges, those who, in violation of state regulations, give state functionaries property in a relatively large amount, or those who, in violation of state regulations, give state functionaries kickbacks or service fees in various names, shall be punished as bribery. It is not a bribe to give property to a state functionary because of extortion without obtaining illegitimate benefits.

Article 390 Whoever commits the crime of accepting bribes shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention and shall also be fined; Whoever seeks illegitimate interests by bribery, if the circumstances are serious or cause heavy losses to the interests of the state, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined; If the circumstances are especially serious, or the interests of the state suffer particularly heavy losses, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated. If the briber voluntarily confesses the bribery before being prosecuted, he may be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. Among them, if the circumstances of the crime are minor, which plays a key role in the detection of major cases, or if there is significant meritorious service, the punishment may be mitigated or exempted.
