A recent announcement from China’s bar association reveals that the Chinese regime will now keep lawyers on a tight leash.
All China Lawyers Association (ACLA), a state-controlled bar association established in 1986 under the authority of the Ministry of Justice, held its ninth national meeting on July 1. The meeting is held every four years, mainly for the purpose of selecting new leadership to run the association.
