Value Conflict and Balance Between Security and Freedom: Reflections on the Anti-terrorism Criminal Legislation in China

摘要

In order to deal with the flood of terrorist crimes, the anti-terrorism criminal legislation in China has gradually improved and constituted a system. In the gradual expansion of legislation, there comes a conflict between the value of security and freedom. The choice of safety priority value can easily cause the risk of the rule of law. Even if it is justified by the actual needs of counter-terrorism, it still applies the freedom of value to limit the expansion of criminal law caused by the pursuit of security value, thus ensuring the legitimate freedom of citizens and achieving the balance between the value of security and the value of freedom.
