Modern Chinese law from the perspective of Japanese legal academics: A discussion on criminal justice

This study divided the 1910s and the 1940s into the Beijing government period, the Nanjing Nationalist government period, and the Sino-Japanese War period, and analyzed Japanese legal scholars' perceptions of modern Chinese law. By the 1940s, various deficiencies in China's legal system were pointed out in Japanese legal academia, although it was also recognized that China had enacted the latest code. Despite the lack of evidence based on sufficient observation, the tendency to emphasize the difficulty of operating the new law did not change.
