Interpretation of the Supreme People s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in Trial of Criminal Cases of Illegal Fund-Raising has demarcated the illegal fund-raising crime, and it helps to guide judicial practice. However, it still has flaws from a technical point of view. First, the so-called “sociality” is not the requirement of all of the illegal fund-raising crimes. Second, the definitions of “relatives and friends” and “through word-of-mouth” are ambiguous. Taking into account the reality of society, if the actor raises funds among relatives and friends and the interpersonal relationship among those relatives and friends could be defined as more than three tiers, this kind of behavior could be defined as raising fund from “public”. Aside from that, active propaganda through word-of-mouth should be defined as public propaganda.
