Li，Ruqiang ：Rule of law in China is still a long way off
李汝强（Li，Ruqiang）
In mainland China, it often happens that a group of police officers suddenly come to the door, without showing any documents, without showing any court documents, and without even giving any reason, directly asking the owner of the house to open the door.
If they were refused, they would break into the house and conduct a forcible search, and the owner of the house would be handcuffed away on charges of obstructing official duties.
Internationally, it is an almost well-known and household concept of the rule of law that citizens＇ homes are protected by law and are inviolable without due process of justice.
The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights states that citizens＇ homes and residences shall not be arbitrarily or illegally trespassed, and the state shall not interfere in citizens＇ private lives.
Even the CCP＇s own constitution stipulates that the residences of citizens of the People＇s Republic of China are inviolable, and that illegal searches or illegal trespassing of citizens＇ residences are prohibited.
The CCP＇s Criminal Law further stipulates that judicial personnel who abuse their powers to invade citizens＇ homes must be severely punished.
However, the police in mainland China know the law and break the law. This is caused by the authoritarian system in mainland China.
