They don't have judicial indepedence either way, it wouldn't be even possible to have it in a single-party state, so there is not much difference between whether judges or algorithms execute the will of the state. China's justice system only exist to protect the interest of the state. Power, money and connections are all greater than the law. The Chinese people don't even have a right for fair trial, the prosecutors always get what they want with a 99.9% conviction rate. The judges and lawyers only exist as a formality, evidence is only tangentially considered.
