In the west is something like the tradition of civil courts to solve the
controversies and disputes. It has probably no counterpart in the chinese
tradition. Civil dispute is not a trial and the lost side of the
controversy is not considered a criminal except the investigation of the
civil court decides otherwise, but it's always obliged to make
compensation
for the excessive advantage in the disputed matter. If the court finds no
crime from the Criminal Code, but only an excessive advantage at the cost
of the adversary, the worst threat is the execution of the compensation by
the bailiff, not a criminal trial.
It's quite unusual for the citizens to dispute this way with anyone in
China, especially to dispute the government, but in Europe it is the
sacrosanct civil law, the base of our system.
You had the brief years of the Cultural Revolution in your country that
shocked your conservative culture disguised as a Communist one. Actually
in
Europe (and before George WWIII Bush in America) we are used to the
permanent cultural and political revolution every four or five years
during
each elections. This state of intentional impermanence lasts some
2 centuries with some brief intervals for the most cruel and dictatorial,
but generally short-lived regimes. "Verwirrung, Zweitracht, Unordnung,
Beamtennherrschaft und Realpolitik" is the core of all extant Western
systems including the original Marxist Communism. The "mandate of Heaven"
and "divine rule of the kings" era effectively fell in Europe beginning
from the 18th century, and its remainders were finely killed in action
during WW1 and consequentle buried by the June 28, 1919 Versailles Treaty.
