我国的证人出庭制度似乎变成了证人不出庭制度：被告人认罪的案件实行简化审理，证人很少出庭；即使在普通程序中，法律也不要求所有证人一律出庭。对于仅剩的需要证人出庭的案件，却存在着无法强制证人作证的问题：由于律师无法对尚不存在的证人证言提出异议，启动法院强制证人出庭的权力变得不切实际；而特定近亲属享有免于出庭作证的特权，法院无法强制其出庭。需要肯定证人出庭制度的价值，并在此基础上实行机制改革，赋予被告人审前充分的质证机会、扩大适用认罪案件程序、将证言分为尚未取得和已经取得两种情形以及将特定近亲属的免于出庭作证特权改为拒绝作证特权。

Chinese witness attendance system seems to be witness non-attendance system: cases in which the defendant pleads guilty are tried simply with witnesses rarely attending the court; even in ordinary procedure, the law does not require all witnesses to attend the court. To those cases where witness attendance is necessary,some witnesses can not be compelled to attend the court due to the following reasons: on the one hand,it is impractical for the court to compel the witness to attend the court since the attorney can not challenge non-existing testimony;on the other,certain close relatives enjoy the privilege of not attending the court. It is necessary first to confirm the value of witness attendance system and then reform the system: the defendant shaould be given the prior opportunity to cross-examine;procedures applicable to cases where the defendant pleads guilty should get expanded; two types of testimonies---the ones that have been made and the ones have not been made should be differentiated; the relative nonattendance privilege should be replaced by the privilege of not testifying.
