Rethinking and Reshaping the Right to Counsel in China: under the Perspective of Anti-corruption

For countering rampant corruption, a blueprint in China for rebuilding the anti-corruption mechanism had been drawn. A brand new national institution, National Supervisory Commission, under the constitutional structure, had been set up in 2018. The function of National Supervisory Commission will focus on fighting against corruption. The Reform of the National Supervisory mechanism should be considered as an opportunity to ameliorate and reshape the status quo of the right to counsel for balancing the value conflict between human rights and anti-corruption, focus on topic of the right to counsel in a global scenario and reshape the mechanism of the right to counsel in China by assimilating the quintessence of the legislations from the whole international community, indicate precisely the maximum time limitation for delay of the right to counsel, and enshrine the legal consequence of violating the right to counsel, otherwise, the evidence will be inadmissible before the court.
