Accessing Criminal Records In China

Police records are non-existent as far as public access in China and Hong Kong.
There are local notaries that have access to personal records. Those are not used, either.
The court lists are accesible - though (in China mainland) the court authorities are not quite understanding of the need for court records to be searched for pre-employment screening purposes. That doesn't mean we are not allowed to search or have them search the indices; only that they are unfamiliar with terms we use non-chalantly here in the USA.
We search the Provincial Court Court records in each Province. The cases heard at those courts are comparable to felony USA records. They are indexed by name and ID #.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong uses a British system of court records. They are easily accessed at all levels.
