Although China allows minors to attend public trials, there are also requirements at this time, that is to say, minors can attend, but they must obtain the approval of the court, otherwise they cannot attend. In China, the regulations are mainly aimed at those who can't participate in the audit, including witnesses and appraisers. Therefore, if you want to go to the court to attend the trial of the case, you'd better first see if you are qualified to attend. In the process of auditing, we must also abide by the court discipline and must not do anything that disturbs the court order.
