I'm sure the Chinese have a bunch of legalese bullshit for why they locked up those innocent Canadians, but we can look through it and see the real score. Right

  The courts aren’t independent from the party/official branch (china technically has one branch of government, the judicial and legislative branches just rubber stamp whatever the official branch wants), so you can’t really trust them one way or the other. There is no nice Mexican stand off balance of power that you’d get from a checks and balances government design.
