China’s Rule of Law Dilemma

Yongnian Zheng and Wen Xin Lim

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2016, vol. 08, issue 04, 38-43

Abstract: China’s rule of law took an ugly turn in less than a year after the legal reform was announced. The country detained lawyers on 9 July 2015. The Chinese Communist Party seems to have inherited the "Rule of Man" from the past and acts like an "organisational emperor". While it took the West a few centuries to build its system of rule of law, it will take China even longer to do so.
