The Rule of Law Series aims to bring geocachers to some of the Law Courts of Hong Kong and, perhaps, helps geocachers understand ‘The Rule of Law’ in Hong Kong. To understand more about the Law Courts of Hong Kong (and where you will probably go following the Series, you may visit the Judiciary Website.
This cache can be found by understanding about "法治" (and Chinese Caligraphy).
The followings are (mostly) copied from and article in Headline Daily written by Mr. Michael Chugani.

Rule of Law or Rule By Law?
The translation of "Rule of Law" and "Rule by Law" are both 法治. 「法」 means "law" and 「治」 means "rule/govern".
The rule of law is easy to explain. It simply means a set of laws that everyone in a society must obey. No one is exempt (excluded, immune) from the set of laws. Even top leaders, such as the president or prime minister, of a country must obey the law. Only judges or juries from an independent judiciary can decide if laws have been broken.
Rule by law is different even though there are some cosmetic (superficial) similarities. In the rule of law, the government must serve the system of laws in a society. It cannot rise above the law. But in rule by law, the government uses the law as a convenient way to govern. Governments can either follow the law or ignore it if it is not convenient to follow the law. We can use Hong Kong and mainland China as an example.
In Hong Kong, the power of political leaders is controlled by laws and regulations. Even former chief executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen had to go to jail after a jury found him guilty of abusing his power.
China claims it is governed by rule of law but in reality it is governed by rule by law. The judiciary and government prosecutors are controlled by the Communist Party. The constitution allows free speech and free political activities. But these freedoms are ignored when leaders feel they threaten party interests.
