The thing about Chinese law is that you can ignore most of what's written down, as well as most of the precedents. Chinese law is basically whatever the judge says it is, and of course they can be heavily influenced by third parties -- criminals, businesses, government officials, etc.... So, you really need to know your judge and what/who their influences are. Now, the judge could always decide to honor those precedents, or what is written down. Or not.
