Regarding Innocent Persons and Those Without a Criminal Record:

Except where a legally effective judgment or ruling by a People's Court confirms guilt, all other circumstances shall be regarded as not guilty. If an individual is suspected of committing a crime, but the People's Court has not yet issued a legally effective judgment or ruling, or the People's Procuratorate has issued a decision not to prosecute, or the case-handling authority has withdrawn the case, revoked the prosecution, or terminated the investigation, such individuals shall be considered as having no criminal record.

*Kind Reminder: Applicable to foreign nationals who have resided in China for a cumulative period of 180 days or more.
