Witness testimony must be cross-examined and verified by both the prosecutor, the victim, the defendant, and the defender in court before it can be used as the basis for a verdict.

Code of Criminal Procedure

Article 62: All persons who know the circumstances of the case have the obligation to testify.

Persons who are physically or mentally handicapped or who are too young to distinguish between right and wrong and who cannot express themselves correctly cannot be witnesses.

Article 61: Witness testimony must be debated and verified by both the prosecutor, the victim, the defendant, and the defender in court before it can be used as the basis of a verdict. When the court finds that a witness intentionally gave false testimony or concealed criminal evidence, it shall handle it in accordance with law.

Article 44 of China's "Civil Procedure Law" stipulates: "In any of the following circumstances, adjudicators shall recuse themselves, and the parties have the right to apply for their recusal orally or in writing: (1) they are parties to the case or close relatives of the parties or litigants; (2) They have an interest in the case; (3) They have other relationships with the parties to the case or litigants that might impact the fair trial of the case.

Where adjudicators accept hospitality and gifts from parties or litigants, or meet with parties or litigants in violation of provisions, the parties have the right to request their recusal. Where adjudicators have the conduct provided for in the preceding paragraph, they shall be pursued for legal responsibility in accordance with law. The provisions of the preceding three paragraphs apply to clerks, translators, evaluators, and inquest personnel.

It can be seen that the recusal system in civil litigation is only applicable to adjudicators, clerks, translators, appraisers, and inquest personnel, and is not applicable to witnesses. Because witnesses are irreplaceable, they can testify, as long as the testimony of the witnesses is true and credible.
