However, the provisions on which China has declared reservations are excluded. (four) the principle of using the common language in China. It is a universal norm for foreigners to participate in criminal proceedings in a country and use the language of the defendant country. It is also one of the contents of the independent exercise of judicial power in China. It is a principle to use the common language of our country to handle foreign-related criminal cases.

This principle requires the use of common language in criminal proceedings and the production of judicial documents. If there is any translation error, the Chinese judgment and ruling shall prevail. (five) the principle of appointing or entrusting China lawyers to participate in litigation. The lawyer system is an integral part of the judicial system. A country's judicial system cannot be extended to foreign countries, and a sovereign country does not allow foreign countries to interfere in its own judicial affairs. 198110/On October 20th, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs of China jointly issued the Joint Notice on Foreign Lawyers Not Practicing in China, stipulating that foreign lawyers are not allowed to practice in China, nor are they allowed to represent lawyers in litigation and appear in court.
