Abstract: This paper is about fact-finding procedures in Chinese criminal trials. It traces general rules setting out fact-finding procedures, and describes the roles that various legal actors that should play to ensure that they are followed properly. It will further examine how Chinese law balances the duty to determine the truth and the principle of protecting individual rights from potential infringements in criminal cases. Based on the conflicts between truth-seeking and human rights protection, this paper will conclude by discussing limitations in Chinese fact-finding procedures and will suggest how they can be mended.
