Unfounded Call For Taiwan's UN Representation

The recent hype of Taiwan's meaningful participation in the UN system by some Western politicians and media organizations echoed related claims made by pro-independence elements in the Chinese island province.     

An Unfair Accusation

The trade imbalance between China and the United States is becoming a tool for Washington to pursue its "America First" ob-jective. U.S. President Donald Trump has on several occasions threatened to impose steep tariffs on com-modities from China and other countries because he sees the United States as "the victim of a global trade war." In January, the Trump administration imposed tariffs of up to 50 percent on imports of washing ma-chines and solar panels, coming mostly from South Korea and China, respectively. The latest data from China Customs show that China's exports to the U.S. market reached 2.91 tril-lion yuan ($465.2 bilion) in 2017, while imports from the United States amounted to 1.04 trillion yuan ($166.2 billion). China's trade surplus against the United States was 1.87 trilion yuan ($298.9 bilion), up 13 percent from of 2016. But is the trade imbal-ance realy unfair to the United States? Is it fair to judge the trade relationship simply on the basis of surplus or deif cit?     

谈刑法中的罪名法定

罪名有学理罪名和司法罪名之分。罪名具有揭示犯罪本质性、特殊性、周延性、简练性、法定性等特征。一个罪名与其所指犯罪之间应是对应关系。现实司法实践中存在同一犯罪不同罪名之间的争执 ,亟需将同一犯罪的罪名以法律形式明文规定 ,使之统一。     

诬告陷害罪之实体要件再解读

诬告陷害是指故意捏造事实陷害他人,意图使他人受到刑事追究的犯罪行为。在实体要件中,根据目的解释与体系解释,诬告陷害罪应属于单一行为犯,保护的法益应为人身权利,并不包括司法秩序;捏造事实中的事实除了限定于犯罪事实以外,还必须要注意其与意见的不同之处,前者可资证明,后者不可;被害人承诺是违法性阻却事由之一,但是要满足其成立要件,需要注意被害人承诺的利益范围及主体条件;有责性方面,需要注意的是其主观目的,以区分错告与举报失实。     

论法院变更指控罪名直接定罪的得失

法院变更指控罪名直接定罪的合理之处有利于处罚犯罪和提高诉讼效率 ,但这种做法有违我国刑事诉讼法的基本原则并有悖司法公正。这表现在 :它侵犯了被告人的辩护权 ,违背了“分工负责、互相配合、互相制约”的宪法规定。司法实践中需要变更指控罪名以正确适用刑法时应该经过合法程序。     

忏悔意识取代控诉意识:中国文化的转折

自从一场叫作文化大革命（及此前的反右灾难）的社会灾变过后，中国人是否应该忏悔的问题就被纳入知识分子的思考空间。但尽管有关忏悔的话题反复被提出，真正愿意忏悔的人（尤其是知识分子）却凤毛麟角（如巴金、刘白羽）。现在问题的关键已不再是某些人是否应该忏悔的问题，而是我们的民族为什么如此缺乏忏悔意识。事实上，中国人自古至今就绝少有忏悔的习惯，《忏悔录》这样的作品在中国文化史上是空缺的。与此形成鲜明对照的是：中国人特别善于控诉，每当社会灾难过后，我们的民族中就会涌现出无数的控诉者，向世界倾诉自己的委屈和哀怨…     

走出理论迷离与实践疑惑:检举揭发型立功的实践认定思考

立功乃我国特有的刑罚裁量制度,自该制度适用以来,理论界和实务界对制度的正当性根基、立功成立条件,以及立功动机的正当性争议颇多,特别是对检举揭发型立功的实践认定更是陷入适用乱局。要化解检举揭发型立功认定所涉及的理论迷思与实践困局,需从探究立功制度的正当性根基着手,明晰立功制度的规制目的与制度本质,厘清立法规制预期与实然实效之间的差异;而后以既有的法律规范为解释基础,对立功主体与立功线索的互动型关系作合理圈定,最后对立功动机的正当性与立功认定之间的实践关系予以阐释。
