I want to ask, is it illegal to draw on banknotes? Is it a crime or something? Then there is the general punishment.

Renminbi represents the country's economic material circulation currency, external circulation and daily needs, and secondly represents China's national culture and historical information. It must be illegal.

The Regulations on the Administration of RMB in People's Republic of China (PRC) prohibits graffiti on RMB, which not only causes unnecessary losses to the country, but also affects the authority of RMB. According to the Regulations on the Administration of Renminbi in People's Republic of China (PRC), whoever intentionally damages Renminbi shall be given a warning by the public security organ and fined 1 10,000 yuan. If citizens receive this kind of RMB with reactionary slogans, they can report it to the public security organs and then take it to the business hall of the bank to exchange the equivalent cash. After the bank recovers such RMB, it will treat it as damaged currency and destroy it according to law.

The police told reporters that printing reactionary slogans on RMB was suspected of violating the Regulations of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Administration of RMB and the Law of the People's Bank of China of the People's Republic of China, as well as undermining national unity and the implementation of national laws and administrative regulations, and was also suspected of violating some provisions of the Criminal Law.
