    I really doubt they’ll actually stick to this in practice. Keep in mind, China is not a place with binding rule of law.

    When it gets in the way of whatever industrial expansion, workers rights to not have toxic rocket fuel falling on them or to get paid for their house being demolished aren’t even respected.

      found the idiot who still believes that America is the pinnacle of following the laws and believes American propaganda about China. unlike America where pedophiles get rewarded with money and positions of power. China executes them publicly.

      Hell China is much harsher on criminals regardless of race… unlike America where blacks get jailed for doing drugs while white serial rapists get a pat on the head because “one mistake shouldn’t ruin a a young kid’s life”. (with those kids being fucking adults).

        If you’re actually interested in Chinese justice vs. American justice, and how that’s related to rule of law vs. party leadership, there’s interesting things to say.

        However, a month old account coming in and fixating on race, which wasn’t even mentioned in OP but rather later in response to someone else, seems more like trolling.

          ah yes the old “you are a new account so anything you say is fake” defense. how fucking pathetic are you? wait don’t answer that. I don’t care about your delusional narrative. come back with an actual argument rather than a “your account is new so you must be fake” statement.

          China isn’t perfect but it’s at least not run by a bunch of pedophiles like America or a bunch of war crime creators like Canada.

          but what can I expect from someone who values account age over truth.

      The rule of law isn’t an exclusively Western concept. But since you’re speaking so confidently you must be an expert in the Chinese legal system.

        I have family in adjacent, politically similar countries. Most likely, you’re a white person with no connections to Asia who likes to project fantasies on it, which is why you’re on .ml.

        It’s a Liberal concept, not a Western one. Tudor England or whatever worked the same way before the age of revolutions. As did everything else all the way back to prehistory, more or less.

        Yup, you can write anything. The USSR also guaranteed freedom of speech in it’s constitution, IIRC.

        People who are purely Western often forget it, but laws that actually apply to everyone all the time are a very recent phenomenon. Historically, and in other places, they’re more like guidelines for what to do when there’s no other major considerations.
