It is easy for us to shake our heads at the lack of 'Justice' in China but actually in some circumstances I wonder how different we are sometimes ?

Our 'show trials' are just as scripted even if they're usually longer.

The other thing I realised after reading things the Chinese were saying about the case ,,,this is just a half thought ........ they are saying OK thats done over and finished (I supose it sinks into the phyche ) but somewhere in me I have been thinking , is this what happens when at some point not long ago your Histery has been wiped ? You carry on wiping it ? ..............and then relating it to some of ours .......only a half thought

The Chinese (Eastern culturists) are rather contemptuous of we Western culturists' perceptions of the concept of "justice".

Our view is that it's better that a guilty man goes free, than an innocent man goes to jail. Their's, is that it's better than an innocent man goes to jail, than that a guilty man goes free. Both we - easterners and westerners are pretty convinced of our perspective and inclined to look down our noses at those who hold the opposite view.
