Recently, the People's Court of Jiading District of Shanghai heard a case of illegally operating a similar business. Defendant Zheng, as a senior manager of a lighting company, used the convenience of his position to operate the same type of business as the company he worked for, causing significant loss to the company's interests. His actions already constituted the crime of illegally operating the same type of business. This case is the first case where the Shanghai court applied relevant provisions to criminally crack down on corruption by private enterprises.
