Starting from the rationality of China’s current financial monopoly system and the impartiality of the judicial procedures in Wu Ying’s Case of “illegal fund-raising,” experts attending the seminar made reflections on drawbacks of the current financial system and judicial system refracted by the Wu Ying Case. It’s agreed among the experts that state monopoly and control is the greatest feature of China’s financial system. The government directly stipulates the uneven interest margin against market rules and restricts citizens to entering the banking industry freely so as to maintain the state monopoly structure of major state-owned banks. On one hand, relying on their monopoly position, state-owned banks attain large amounts of deposits of the whole society and easily enjoy the high profits of interest margin with little impetus to lend to small and medium-sized enterprises, thus greatly encouraging corruption. On the other, interest rates in the financial market of the private sector continued to climb up, leaving small and medium-sized enterprises trapped in capital bottleneck and survival difficulties. The Wu Ying Case occurred exactly under such background. The order of financial management “harmed” by Wu Ying is both inefficient and unfair. Wu Ying is the very sacrifice of this extremely irrational system of financial monopoly and control. The government ignored the public’s demand to liberalize private lending and interest rates and sentenced Wu Ying to death. This is against judicial fairness. In addition, there are lots of flaws in the application of laws and regulations as well as procedure justice, and the death sentence in the second trial could not stand deliberation at all.
