The principle of equality means that foreigners and foreign organizations should enjoy and bear the same rights and obligations as China citizens and organizations in foreign-related administrative litigation. The principle of equal litigation rights is the international litigation "national treatment principle". The "national treatment principle" requires that the rights enjoyed by its citizens should be equally enjoyed by foreigners in its own territory, which embodies the equal and friendly relations between countries and is an important rule in international exchanges. The principle of reciprocity in foreign-related administrative litigation means that if foreign courts restrict the administrative litigation rights of Chinese citizens and organizations, China will take corresponding restrictive measures to make the administrative litigation rights of Chinese citizens and organizations in other countries equal to those of other countries in China. This principle applies to foreign restrictions on the administrative litigation rights of Chinese citizens and organizations, and does not apply to the granting of rights. The so-called limitation of litigation rights means that the litigation rights enjoyed by Chinese citizens in their own country are lower than the general standards of their own citizens. That is to say, no matter which country the plaintiff is a citizen, organization or stateless person as a party, when bringing an administrative lawsuit in China, the court uses the language commonly used by local courts in China, and the language barrier of the plaintiff can be solved through translation. That is to say, no matter which country's citizens, organizations or stateless persons are the plaintiffs, when they file administrative proceedings in China, the court uses the language commonly used by the China District Court, and the language barrier of the plaintiffs can be solved through translation. : foreigners and stateless persons who engage in criminal proceedings in the territory of People's Republic of China (PRC) are subject to the procedures stipulated in China's Criminal Procedure Law; Foreigners who enjoy diplomatic privileges and judicial immunity shall be investigated for criminal responsibility and resolved through diplomatic channels. As an extension of the principle of sovereignty, diplomatic privilege and judicial immunity are determined by the principle of equality and reciprocity in normal international exchanges.
legal basis: article 73 of the administrative procedure law stipulates that plaintiffs (foreigners, stateless persons and foreign organizations) in foreign-related administrative litigation shall entrust lawyers to represent them when they conduct administrative litigation in the people's Republic of China and the people's Republic of China. In order to realize national sovereignty and ensure the unified exercise of jurisdiction, foreign lawyers are generally not allowed to practice law in their own countries. Our country is no exception.
