In criminal proceedings, a party may refuse to defend itself. According to Article 45 of the Criminal Procedure Law, during the trial, the defendant may refuse the defender to continue to defend him, or he may entrust another defender to defend him. However, if a minor criminal suspect or defendant has not appointed a defender, the people's court, people's procuratorate and public security agency shall notify the legal aid agency to appoint a lawyer to defend him.
