Since the reform and opening-up,China's criminal procedure law has undergone an initial establishment in 1979 and three subsequent revisions.After the breakthrough from"0"to"1"in 1979,each amendment has been a gradual process from"1"to"1.1","1.2",and so on.The legislative history reveals that China's criminal procedure reforms follow a logic of gradual,moderate adjustment,emphasi-zing state leadership while also considering social participation and consensus.This trend suggests that past changes will likely influence current and future reforms.In the context of a stable overall reform pace,the fourth amendment to the criminal procedure law is unlikely to be a major overhaul or involve codification.However,it may address digital litigation laws,international criminal procedures,and oth-er areas where consensus has been reached or beneficial experiences have been accumulated.In the con-text of modernizing criminal procedure with Chinese characteristics,this amendment is expected to align with the digital age and global competition,reflecting national needs through scientific and democratic"small"or"minor"adjustments.Thus,China's criminal procedure legislation will continue to exhibit high creativity and strong vitality.
