* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
At present, the world economy is interconnected, and multinational corporation are developing rapidly. In line with the development trend of the world, China has continued to deepen its opening-up policy and attracted major multinational companies to enter the country. However, in addition to active foreign investment, it is accompanied by increasing corruption in multinational corporations. In recent years, China has also paid attention to the legislation and judiciary to prevent corruption, but there are still many problems in practice. Among all issues, the burden of proof is one of the most vital one, which profoundly affects the process and efficiency of the trial, but it has been unresolved, triggering heated discussions among scholars at home and abroad. The distribution of the burden of proof in the judicial process of anti-corruption presents two main issues: the excessive burden of proof of the plaintiff and the unclear jurisdiction of corruption in China. Then proposes to solve the above problems by appropriately introducing the inversion and transfer of the burden of proof and the case diversion before trial are put out. By further improving the evidence chain, it is committed to promoting the further advancement of China's anti-transnational-corruption cause.
