Is the prosecution lawyer a prosecutor?

No, even if the defendant is prosecuted on behalf of the state, the prosecutor is not equal to a lawyer. In practice, the so-called prosecution generally refers to the plaintiff in a public prosecution case, while in China, the plaintiff in a public prosecution case is the procuratorate, usually attended by the prosecutor, without a prosecution lawyer.

Legal basis:

Article 7 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Prosecutors: Responsibilities of Public Prosecutors:

(1) Investigating criminal cases directly accepted by people's procuratorates according to law;

(2) Examining arrests, examining and prosecuting criminal cases, and prosecuting on behalf of the state;

(three) to carry out public interest litigation;

(4) To supervise criminal, civil and administrative litigation activities;

(5) Other duties as prescribed by law.

Prosecutors are responsible for making decisions on cases within the scope of their functions and powers.
