Features: It is well-known that the study of administrative criminal law originated in Germany in the early 20th century and subsequently developed significantly in Western countries. Currently, research on administrative criminal law in China is still in its infancy. However, with the continuous advancement of China's market economy and modernization efforts, administrative criminal law has increasingly become an indispensable component of China's legal system. Particularly after joining the WTO, not only is a market mechanism required, but also an investment environment, including a rule-of-law environment. It can be said that administrative criminal law is an essential legal norm that the state establishes to achieve administrative objectives and maintain normal administrative order, defining administrative crimes and their responsibilities. However, whether it belongs to the scope of criminal law or administrative law has long been a subject of significant debate both domestically and internationally. To pursue a theoretical framework of administrative criminal law that is characteristic of China and suited to the country's modernization needs, as well as to resolve the numerous contradictions and issues in the intersection of administrative law and criminal law in China for a long time, we believe it is necessary to promptly commence a comprehensive study of China's administrative criminal law and its disciplinary development.
