Abstract

This article discusses the issues of legal liability for violations in the field of subsoil use, which have received special relevance in modern conditions (in the aspect of exploration, production of such types of minerals as coal, oil, gas). Taking into account the existence of general principles in the development of subsoil legislation in China and Russia, due to the peculiarities of the historical development of the legal systems of these countries, the paper provides a comparative analysis of the modern legislation of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China in order to identify trends in the development of legislation systems in the field of mining law and problems of legal liability for administrative and criminal offenses in the exploration, exploitation of coal and oil and gas fields.

Key words
