Court tries to rope in runaway debtors

Beijing - A campaign has kicked off to crack down on dishonest debtors who take advantage of legal loopholes to avoid paying debts, the country's top court announced on Thursday.

The campaign will continue throughout the year, according to the Supreme People's Court of China.

A stricter and more detailed property examination system will be established, and more governmental departments including the police and banks will take part in getting back the debtors' property to enforce court decisions.
