Money laundering was stipulated as an offense by Chinese criminal law more than 10 years ago. However, the judicial situation is such that no one has yet been prosecuted for it. This article describes the phenomena that are closely related to money laundering, namely the current situation of the predicate offences and other factors conducive to money laundering such as corruption, underground bank shops, and shell companies. Based on these facts, the article infers that money laundering is a real problem in China. Then it explores the reasons why case examples of money laundering are not available. Finally, this article presents some of the factors necessary in the investigation of money laundering.
十多年前，中国刑法就将洗钱规定为犯罪行为。然而，司法现状却是尚无一人因洗钱被起诉。本文描述了与洗钱密切相关的现象，即上游犯罪的现状以及其他助长洗钱的因素，如腐败、地下钱庄和空壳公司。基于这些事实，本文推断洗钱在中国是一个现实问题。接着探讨了为何没有洗钱案例的原因。最后，本文提出了洗钱调查中一些必要的因素。
