Historical and Cultural Origins
• Legal system along the history Unlike the principle of “innocent until proven guilty”, the basic underlying philosophy of POU is that it is better for the legal system to wrongly convict a person than to let a real criminal go free.
E.g., Tang/Song Dynasty: practice of Probable Crime

Historical and Cultural Origins
• Painful lessons learned during the Cultural Revolution
People didn’t dare to reveal truth to others in afraid of being in trouble.( even between e.g., brothers, wives and husbands, children and parents, friends etc. )
Not taking what other people say at face value, not disclosing honest opinions

Historical and Cultural Origins
• Diverse and isolated subcultures
Isolated subcultures due to difficulties of travelling and understanding each other’s dialects make people suspicious of outsiders.
e.g., outsiders mean out of the group, family, subculture, state etc.

Influences
• Legal system
A step forward in 1996 Criminal Procedural Law: “No person shall be found guilty without being judged as such by a People’s Court according to law.”

Influences
• Legal system E.g. Case of She Xianglin
More specifically, in 2013, the Supreme Court released a document stating that justices officially abandoned the POU in favor of the presumption of innocence.
It will take time for the transformation.The Chinese Way, Ding and Xu, 2014

Influences
• Interpersonal Attitudes:e.g., Guiding principle taught to children: “You should not have a heart intended to hurt other people, but is always be alert to potential harm others will do to you.” (deeply ingrained)
e.g., informant: “The Americans and the Chinese are the opposites when it comes to trusting others….” It is really hard for the Chinese to build up the trust.

Road Ahead
POU is the social code ingrained into people’s mind. It will persist as a dominant guiding principle in China.
“Once bitten by a snake, one will be scared by the sight of a rope for ten years.”
