Website shows who hasn't paid

A new website will allow the public to find out who has failed to pay up after losing civil cases in court.

The new service lists more than 5.24 million verdicts handed down by 3,484 courts. In 1.44 million of those cases the verdicts have yet to be carried out, said Jiang Bixin, vice-president of the Supreme People's Court (SPC).

"Figures suggest the number of civil and commercial cases that need to be forcibly carried out has been on the rise in recent years," Jiang said.
