re: American Justice System. I recently had to explain to a Chinese coworker of mine how in the U.S you can be held in jail for years pending trial because you can't afford to post bail. He was legit blown away and had no idea how that was possible. Apparently in China they have a couple of days to present evidence from the numerous CCTV cameras in the country or they must release you.
Mechanisms like cash bail and these numerous wrongful conviction stories really highlight how the "land of the free" is anything but.
Did you ask him how he felt about secret trials in China against political opponents or made up evidence that results in execution because they are an "enemy of the people"?
I questioned the high conviction rates, but I think that is a sensitive topic for him as he often says U.S news of what's going on in China is misleading.
