Top legal bodies gain lawmakers' support

The annual reports from China's top court and top procuratorate received their highest level of support from National People's Congress deputies in the past decade, showing the recognition that legal reform has won from lawmakers.

The work report of the Supreme People's Court, which outlines work they did during year and their plans for coming year, got 213 votes of opposition on Sunday, the final day of the top legislature's annual session. The figure was down substantially from the 378 opposition votes last year.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate, which takes charge of the lawsuits against senior corrupt officials, also managed to cut the number of opposition votes from 390 last year to 284.
