Episode Synopsis ""Justice" without Juries: China"
We recorded this interview back in September of 2019. The world was then witnessing massive, historic protests in Hong Kong against an extradition bill that would have made it far easier for China to take accused people out of Hong Kong and its far more protective legal system and try them in mainland China. In June of 2020, China escalated the extradition issue, passing a law that effectively allows China free reign to arrest anyone in Hong Kong, extradite them to mainland China without recourse, and deny them both trial by jury and even a trial of any sort that is public. With the recent arrest of Hong Kong entrepreneur Jimmy Lai, I thought it was a good time to stop trying to improve the audio quality and just get this podcast published. My guest in this episode is Lily Tang Williams. Lily was born just before the Cultural Revolution in China, and grew up there during the rule of Chairman Mao. At the age of 17 she left home in Chengdu and traveled across the country to Shanghai to attend law school at Fudan University. After graduation, Lily became a faculty member of the law school at Fudan University. Her experiences in China led her to immigrate to the United States and become an American citizen and businesswoman. She is currently an activist, educator, and professional speaker who shares her stories and experiences with the goal of promoting individual rights and liberty and defending the United States Constitution. She and I sat down to discuss the Chinese legal system and how it compares to our jury system here in the United States.
