Legal basis: Article 53 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). If it is really difficult to pay the fine due to irresistible disasters, it may be reduced or exempted as appropriate. However, the reduction of this fine is not due to the repentance or meritorious service of criminals, but to the flexible execution measures taken according to their actual affordability. Paragraph 2 of Article 57 stipulates that when the suspended execution of death penalty is reduced to fixed-term imprisonment or life imprisonment is reduced to fixed-term imprisonment, the additional period of deprivation of political rights is changed to less than three years 10 year.
