International Police Cooperation in the US and China

In the US, there is an embracing of Interpol, which advances enforcement interests of the US in other parts of the world. The USA joined Interpol in 1938, which had been active in more than 59 countries then. Similarly, the Chinese have more than two million police officers, Interpol group in Beijing has two divisions that administer major cities in the country and the country joined Interpol in 1961 (Hu, 2019). International cooperation in policing has been effective in the two countries with the US extending a long arm of the law to meet the required standards of security in many countries. Chinese have a strong military but they are placed after their counterparts when it comes to implementation and keeping of law and order. Therefore, the two countries embrace international police cooperation with Interpol being a common example.

Conclusion

The Chinese and Americans have slight differences when it comes to the judicial system. The US has a federal and state legal system while china has one centralized system. The US criminal trials include the use of attorneys, while the Chinese may disregard that depending on the intensity of the case. There is more impunity in the criminal justice system in China more than it is in the US. Judges play a pivotal role in pleasing the government, unlike the US whereby a case might be influenced by the interest of the members of the public. The two countries have embraced international police cooperation and for this matter; Interpol is a common example that has been evident for that matter.
