Talk:Chinese law

message: Rule of law has become an important part of political discourse in the People's Republic of China since the 1990s, and there is the normative principle that all state and party organizations are subject to the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, and all the laws adopted are subject to it. 
Although the law may prevent the government from taking one particular action or another, it creates an efficient administrative system and decreases fear and resentment of the state, thereby enhancing the power of the state.  In addition, Chinese conceptions of the rule of law tend to stress that the government is not a single monolithic body, and the rule of law prevents differences of opinion within the government from spinning out of control.
In a Chinese context, the law is the expression of the people and so the law derives its power from popular will, which manifested itself in the communist revolution.  It is also seen as a means to make China a rich and powerful nation by preventing social chaos (such as was found in the Cultural Revolution or the cult of personality under Mao Zedong) and increasing central control over local officials.  Curiously, both supporters and opponents of the government agree that the goal and effect of the emphasis on rule of law in China is to increase rather than reduce the power of the Communist Party of China.
It needs some work before being added to this article. Mark1 04:59, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Hey guys I got a new idea for an article on this subject. I think it should be about Qin YAnhong. He is a perfect example of how poor the Chinese law system is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.157.199.97 (talk) 
:See http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/21/international/asia/21confess.html?_r=1&oref=slogin from the New York Times for more information on this man who confessed to murder while under police maltreatment and later was released from death row.--24.211.242.80 (talk) 17:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I took off the thing saying "quanli" also means "power," because it's misleading.  The "li" for power and the "li" for right are different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.27.111.130 (talk) 19:12, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The text of the paragraph was:
:The future development of Chinese law will rely on the Chinese government accepting international legal standards and norms when drafting legislation. Only a legislative regime that is non-protectionist, transparent and non-discriminatory will allow China to continue to develop economically.
This is a controversial statement, not a factual one.

thread_title:  Removed last paragraph of "People's Republic of China" section 

message: This page mentions that torture was used on criminals but doesn't explicitly state that in the PRC or Taiwan torture is now prohibited.  May seem small but helps clarify the differences.  Could be mentioned on the pages for the 2 different law systems but isn't on the PRC page.

message: I removed the below claim because 1.) it was not grammatical and was hard to understand, and 2.) it seems to be an opinion rather than a fact. -- Beland (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
