Supreme Court Report: Clarifies that those who activate assisted driving after intoxication should bear criminal responsibility

The Fourth Session of the 14th National People’s Congress held its second plenary meeting on the morning of the 9th at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Zhang Jun, President of the Supreme People’s Court, delivered the work report of the Supreme People’s Court. The report shows that over the past five years, 9,326 cases involving cyber security crimes were concluded, involving 22,000 people, representing a 158.5% increase compared to the previous five years (by case number). Crimes such as online rumors, online pyramid schemes, and cyber violence are punished according to law to promote comprehensive governance of online space security. Two young people maliciously “doxxed” others, illegally obtaining and spreading their private information, and were legally convicted and sentenced. Severe punishment is given to crimes such as money laundering and foreign exchange evasion using virtual currencies, to help prevent illegal cross-border fund transfers. It is clarified that drivers who operate assisted driving functions while intoxicated should still bear criminal responsibility, and technological applications must adhere to legal boundaries.
