Single party states, where power is highly centralized and unilateral action is possible, lack the expectation that justice will be executed unmolested since the system responsible for executing it lacks the autonomy and authority to do so.
People sometimes complain about the constant “tug of war” that naturally occurs in more Republican governments but that’s simply a byproduct of the “Separation of powers”. It can make things long and drawn out but it at least helps prevent things like a legal system with a 99% conviction rate when there’s no conceivable way 99% of the defendants are actually guilty.
not in China.
there’s an official conviction rate of over 99%.
i know you asked “ever”, but an acquittal never occurs because of something like evidence or legal maneuvering.
