The new Law of the People’s Republic of China on Administrative Penalty in 2021 added informed criticism as a new type of general administrative penalty. Since the implementation of the new law in July 2021,informed criticism has been widely applied in law enforcement,especially in the field of public health law enforcement,playing a great role and completing the transition from legislation to practice. However, through empirical analysis of 818 cases of informed criticism of administrative penalties under public health law enforcement,we discovered that the operational effectiveness of informed criticism in law enforcement is unsatisfactory. The failure to meet the expected penalty effect,and the absence of remedies have put the general application in an unpopular and awkward situation. Tracing back the causes, the inappropriate application of the much - needed norms has caused severe damage to the principle of proportionality and other law principles. In order to achieve the proper application of informed criticism,it is necessary to deconstruct the effect of its punishment to optimize the path of law enforcement and to introduce the“right of correction” and“right of response”in civil law to set up a relief system with regarding comparative law to provide relief requirements.
