"Since when did China ever worry about "the rule of law?""

Precisely my problem with using trumped-up charges and BS laws to get people into jail. Regardless of whether those people may be good or bad; right or wrong, the rule of law and the principles of law must always be recognized and adheered to by those who enforce the law. If the police, prosecutors, and judges don't respect the rule and principle of law, why should anyone else?
