TL;DR: This article found that the traditional Chinese moral percept, "yi" (righteousness), and role expectation were the dominant criteria of justice judgment among college students in Hong Kong, and that violation of role expectation was used as a principal criterion in judgment concerning personal desert.
Abstract: On the basis of a review of the dominant social philosophies and the legal system in traditional Chinese societies, I hypothesized that whether role expectations are met may be the dominant criterion of Chinese justice judgment. This contention was tested among Hong Kong Chinese students in two studies. In Study 1, I found that the traditional Chinese moral percept, “yi” (righteousness), and role expectation were the dominant criteria of justice judgment among college students. In Study 2, I found that, among high school students, violation of role expectation was used as a principal criterion in judgment concerning personal desert. The results of these two studies showed that, despite the rapid modernization process that has occurred in Hong Kong in the past decades, normative role expectation remains a dominant criterion of justice judgment among Hong Kong Chinese.

TL;DR: Hong Kong Chinese college students' cognitive responses to a person who gained some benefits from an unfair act for which he or she was not accountable were investigated as discussed by the authors, and the results showed that despite it being evident to the subjects that the advantaged person was not responsible for the unfair act, they derogated that person's integrity.
Abstract: Hong Kong Chinese college students' cognitive responses to a person who gained some benefits from an unfair act for which he or she was not accountable were investigated. The results show that, despite it being evident to the subjects that the advantaged person was not responsible for the unfair act, they derogated that person's integrity. Moreover, though the one who benefited from the unfair act could attribute the benefit as unexpected gain, he or she still felt guilty. Subjects who imagined themselves to have lost in a fair competition for promotion also derogated the person who was promoted. This pattern of results suggests that blame assignment among Hong Kong Chinese college students may have been independent of causation and responsibility inferences.
