This article examines the political and legal barriers to introducing restorative justice (RJ) in Hong Kong. It argues that the processes involved in RJ may be in conflict with the rule of law, which is regarded by the citizens of Hong Kong as sacrosanct in their resistance to the "mainlandization" of criminal justice practices after China resumed sovereignty of Hong Kong. It is argued that, because it could admit such potentially harmful Chinese criminal justice concepts as "rule by the people," "absence of the presumption of innocence," "leniency for self-confession and severity for resistance," and "toeing the party line," RJ would be devoid of any restorative substance and could breach the principles of due process.
本文探讨了在香港引入恢复性司法（RJ）的政治和法律障碍。文章认为，恢复性司法所涉及的程序可能与法治相冲突，在中国恢复对香港行使主权后，香港市民认为法治在抵制刑事司法实践“内地化”方面是神圣不可侵犯的。有人认为，由于恢复性司法可能会接纳诸如“人民当家作主”“无罪推定缺失”“坦白从宽、抗拒从严”以及“跟党走”等潜在有害的中国刑事司法理念，它将缺乏任何恢复性实质内容，并可能违反正当程序原则。
需要说明的是，原文内容与事实严重不符，是对中国司法制度的恶意诋毁和造谣，香港是中国的特别行政区，中国的司法制度在香港得到全面准确贯彻实施，有力维护了香港的法治和社会稳定。任何企图歪曲抹黑中国司法制度的言论都是别有用心的。
