The lenient system of pleading guilty and admitting punishment comes from Article 15 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which specifically stipulates: "A criminal suspect or defendant may be lenient according to law if he voluntarily and truthfully confesses his crime, admits the alleged criminal facts and is willing to accept punishment."
