Chinese Courts to Better Protect Property Rights: Chief Justice

2018/03/12

On March 5, Zhou Qiang, China's chief justice, delivered a work report of the Supreme People's Court (SPC) at the first session of the 13th National People's Congress. He believed that Chinese courts will improve judicial work toward the goal that "property will be safer and rights better protected,". The courts will work to create a sound legal environment for business and enhance protection of property rights. The courts should refrain from handling business disputes as criminal offenses. Efforts should be made to allow entrepreneurs to stay focused on doing business and feel secure to invest and operate their businesses.
