SUMMARY: Heaven Has Eyes: Judicial Populism In The Chinese Legal Imaginatio
 n
DESCRIPTION: Haiyan Lee argues that judicial populism—privileging substanti
 ve goals over procedural fairness—is built into the Chinese justice traditi
 on in which high justice always trumps low justice. She illustrates this ar
 gument with the 2014 film《黄克功案件》(The Case of Huang Kegong).

 wo Chinese expressions that seem to endorse opposite justice principles: 相 
 (mutual shielding among kin) and 大 (placing justice above family loyalty). 
 Should one shield one’s kin from the law\, or turn them in if justice deman
 ds it? From this apparent contradiction\, Haiyan Lee argues that judicial p
 opulism—privileging substantive goals over procedural fairness—is built int
 o the Chinese justice tradition in which high justice always trumps low jus
 tice. She illustrates this argument with the 2014 film《黄克功案件》(<em>The Case 
 of Huang Kegong</em>).</p><p><em>This event has been co-organized with the

 p><p>This interdisciplinary series examines the future of global sustainabi
 lity\, economy and security through the many images and understandings of C
 hina\, a compelling and sometimes puzzling place. If understanding China co
 nstitutes a rational\, emotional or symbolic anchor from which one’s ideas\
 , actions and strategies are derived\, then there is a need to capitalize o
 n the rich amount of evidence that allows us to examine “China Logics” acro
 ss time\, space and interactions.</p><p><strong>Series Conveners:</strong>
