Safeguarding children s rights stressed in series of legal and policy initiatives
China has strengthened laws that protect minors rights and interests in recent months, including the newly amended Criminal Procedure Law that will take effect on March 1.
The Supreme People s Court recently released an interpretation that outlines the implementation of the revised law. The interpretation, consisting of 27 chapters and 655 articles, has more detailed provisions on the protection of minors rights than a previous interpretation in 2012.
It makes clear that if a minor is interrogated in the absence of a legal representative or an adult, the minor s confession shall be excluded from use as evidence.

Tencent has, however, vehemently denied the claims by ByteDance and said they are only meant to cause defamation.
Over the weekend, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court accepted a lawsuit filed by ByteDance Ltd against Tencent Holdings Ltd (HKG: 0700) over monopolistic practices.
According to the lawsuit, ByteDance alleges that Tencent has been denying Douyin – a Chinese version of TikTok- access to WeChat and QQ content sharing capabilities. The two tech rivals have seen their business operations scale during the pandemic, thus attracting huge attention from regulators on the market competitiveness.
