Study on China-Philippines Judicial Assistance in Transnational Crime Governance

With the acceleration of globalization, transnational crimes are becoming increasingly complex and diverse, especially drug trafficking, cyber fraud, telecommunications fraud, money laundering and human trafficking, which are frequent and pose a serious threat to the security of the international community. As an important neighbor and regional cooperation partner of China, the Philippines is particularly prone to transnational crimes, and judicial assistance between China and the Philippines has become a key mechanism for dealing with cross-border crimes. Based on legal system analysis and case studies, this paper systematically sorts out the current status of judicial assistance between China and the Philippines, and deeply explores the main issues such as differences in legal systems, political and diplomatic factors, technical barriers and extradition disputes. It then proposes paths and countermeasures such as improving the docking of bilateral legal systems, building an information sharing and law enforcement cooperation platform, promoting the unification of technical standards for case handling, enhancing human rights protection and judicial mutual trust, and the strategic use of multilateral cooperation platforms. The study aims to provide theoretical support and practical reference for transnational judicial cooperation between China, the Philippines and related regional countries, and promote the modernization of regional governance systems and governance capabilities.
