Wu, Harry; Goodrich, Cole
- Abstract
The article reports on the challenges over the reform proposals to eliminate the laojiao labor camp system in China. It is essential to address the more fundamental issue of arbitrary detention. It suggests establishing a more independent judicial system committed to upholding substantive rule-of-law principles that would adjudicate all cases. It highlights the challenges involving the Communist Party's overriding emphasis on maintaining political stability.
