Can a criminal conviction be eliminated or deleted, and what does the law say?

It is not possible to destroy or delete. The law stipulates that the criminal record of any criminal offender cannot be eliminated by any means, and such an act is an offence.

No. As long as you have a criminal record, there will be a corresponding record, and it will be permanently stored in your file in the process of political trial or other audits. The law stipulates that all offenders will have a corresponding file and certain restrictions on the work they are engaged in.

Criminal convictions cannot be eliminated or deleted, and there is no provision in Chinese law to eliminate them, and criminal convictions will generally follow you for a lifetime.

Legal Analysis: It is generally stipulated that the following two conditions must be met for the expungement of a criminal record:

1) Serving a sentence or being exempted from sentence after a guilty verdict;

2) Have not committed a new crime within the prescribed time limit.

Some countries also provide for early parole under certain conditions. The system of expungement and revocation or parole of criminal records can help to relieve the mental burden of offenders with criminal records, enhance their confidence and courage to renew their lives, and promote the offender's rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

Legal basis: "Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 286: Where a person was under the age of 18 at the time of the crime and was sentenced to up to five years imprisonment, the relevant criminal record shall be sealed.
