Features: The author systematically interprets the provisions of bilateral extradition treaties China has signed with foreign countries in recent years, introduces the basic considerations and negotiation background of China's relevant legislation in borrowing and adopting international rules of extradition cooperation, explores some international law theories related to extradition in combination with China's laws and judicial practices, and defines the existing domestic review and implementation procedures related to extradition as "extradition litigation" from a theoretical perspective, striving to strictly bring them under the legal framework. After commenting on the advantages and disadvantages of China's temporary "joint review system of competent authorities" in extradition cases, the author, from the perspective of a scholar, proposes a set of solutions for the proposed legislation regarding the division of responsibilities among domestic competent authorities in extradition litigation and the corresponding review and implementation procedures.
