A Certain Justice

More about the book

The book explores the perception of China as a land of despotism, where law often serves as a tool of oppression rather than justice. Haiyan Lee argues that this view stems from a historical misunderstanding of China's political-legal tradition, particularly the conflation of high justice with low justice. By examining these entrenched cultural and political obstacles, the author contributes to the interdisciplinary dialogue between law and humanities, shedding light on the complexities of China's legal identity.
