Pretty sure they actually have laws 'n shiet in China and North Korea.

Even (gasp!) Putler's Russia has laws and police, I've heard.

They had laws in the bronze age too. The difference is in what those laws protect.

"protect power" is always in there, but in modern democratic style states there are some extra details that greatly limit the abuse of said power.
