In China, kickback is regarded as an illegal act, which violates the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Administrative Supervision Law of the People's Republic of China. According to the laws of our country, commercial activities should abide by the principle of fair competition, and no unfair competitive advantage can be obtained by illegal means such as kickbacks.
The legality and compliance of kickbacks are also strictly regulated around the world. Many countries and regions have anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and regulations, including strictly restricting or completely prohibiting kickbacks.
In short, kickbacks can only be legal if agreed in advance, and laws and regulations should be observed in commercial transactions. If there is no clear agreement or violation of laws and regulations, kickbacks may be considered illegal. Please note that the information provided here does not constitute legal advice.
