It may prove detrimental to the civil rights of Chinese people in the long term as Xi has openly called for opposing and resisting” erroneous Western views” such as constitutional government, separation of powers, and judicial independence, The Print reports.
The criticism of the western views from legal education in China is seen as a part of Xi’s reinvigorated efforts to change the US-led world order.
