From the article,

In 2022, the total number of cases dropped during prosecution rose to 26.28%

So it does sounds like a significant portion of cases get dropped.

Again I’m not an expert on either system, but what I do know is that the judicial system is in dire need of reform in China, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen anytime soon.
