NY Times: China's Legal System

This is a pretty scary article about China's legal system. I've heard a lot of talk around here recently about the need for changes in the Legal system in China. China Daily actually published an article about the push for a Juvenile court system. Currently those under 18 years of age can be punished for a crime like an adult. Very different from many Western cultures.

The New York Times article is really good if you have a chance to read through it. There's also a slide show of pictures about the case with audio from the article's author.
