Attorney Yang Chunyan used “legal age” as a starting point to analyze the age stages of persons with no civil capacity, persons with limited civil capacity, and persons with full civil capacity, thereby enabling students to understand the civil and criminal responsibilities that minors are required to bear.
Focusing on the key revisions and highlights of the "Law on the Protection of Minors" and the "Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency," this session uses real-life cases to explain the law, highlighting eight major features of the Law on the Protection of Minors: refining the guardians’ responsibilities in caring for and protecting “left-behind children”; establishing a clear basic system for preventing and addressing campus bullying; building and improving systems related to the prevention and handling of sexual assault cases; requiring lodging operators—such as hostels, guesthouses, and hotels—to conduct inquiries and submit reports; strengthening the cybersecurity “firewall” and intensifying supervision to prevent addiction; and achieving full coverage of juvenile protection throughout the judicial process. Additionally, the Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency no longer uses the term “custodial education,” instead clearly stipulating that the state will strengthen the construction of specialized schools, define clear standards for identifying harmful behaviors and serious harmful behaviors, and establish a comprehensive system for preventing and controlling student bullying. These highlights enable students to directly experience that the law not only protects “youth” but also sets inviolable red lines for them under the law.
During the lecture, lawyer Yang Chunyan showed educational animated videos titled “School Bullying” and “Braving the Valley of Youth,” enabling students to gain a deeper understanding of the harm caused by school bullying. At the same time, students learned how to respond if they were ever subjected to school bullying. Through vivid and engaging videos, students also gained insight into how current laws truly protect young people.
This legal lecture, combined with real-life examples of juvenile protection and criminal cases, focuses on practical, everyday situations to carry out targeted publicity on the legal protection of minors, thereby effectively enhancing its impact, appeal, and persuasiveness. It helps students recognize that the “Law on the Protection of Minors” provides a robust protective umbrella for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of minors, while the “Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency” builds a strong legal barrier against juveniles going astray. By harnessing the power of the rule of law, these laws ensure the healthy growth of young people and significantly enhance students’ awareness and understanding of the legal system.

“Elegant bribery” is not uncommon in cases of official misconduct, and some of the news reports that have appeared in the media are truly eye-opening. In practice, elegant bribery exhibits several distinctive features: First, certain criminal methods are indeed highly concealed—or might even be described as “sophisticated”—making them extremely difficult to detect and prosecute. Second, legally speaking, elegant bribery involves issues such as errors in perception, the consistency between subjective intent and objective actions, and the distinction between completed and attempted crimes. Moreover, at times it can be exceedingly challenging to differentiate between genuine and fake items, rendering these cases particularly complex and perplexing. Third, given the unique trading norms and industry traditions that have evolved over thousands of years around calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and other such artifacts, simply applying criminal law to certain situations could inadvertently disrupt this time-honored sector. Consequently, it is not easy to draw a clear line between cracking down on such behavior and safeguarding the integrity of the relevant industries. This article seeks to analyze and explore the issues surrounding elegant bribery.
In the field of construction projects, it is quite common for enterprises, driven by their own interests, to lend their qualification certificates to other entities for use. However, the practice of an actual contractor without proper qualifications borrowing the name of a qualified construction company to undertake projects is explicitly prohibited by laws and regulations—it constitutes an illegal “nominal subcontracting” arrangement. In practice, although the entity being sub-contracted often employs various measures to actively evade legal risks, it frequently finds itself embroiled in numerous lawsuits due to the inherent illegality of the nominal subcontracting arrangement itself, as well as the lack of clear definitions for what constitutes such an arrangement, its diverse forms, unclear standards for rights and obligations, and significant disagreements over liability allocation. As a result, the entity being sub-contracted faces substantial legal risks. Therefore, this article, from the perspective of the entity being sub-contracted, combines selected judicial viewpoints to provide a brief analysis of the risks and liabilities it confronts.
