【Translation Note：Throughout these translations we interchangeably use either the literal ‘admit guilt and accept punishment’ or ‘plea’ for the Chinese 认罪认罚从宽 is translated as leniency, so that the 认罪认罚从宽制度 is the ‘plea leniency system’ etc. This is solely to avoid excessively awkward language, as translations are awkward enough.]
