Learning from abroad

Chinese courts will learn from the judicial experience of other countries, and the ongoing reform will be approached with an open attitude, an official of China's top court said.

"Reform cannot be developed in a closed manner. Our judicial reform is no exception," said He Xiaorong, director of the judicial reform office with the Supreme People's Court.

"Some other countries such as the US and Germany have rich experience in the judicial field, which we can learn from and use for reference," he said.
