Enforcement of rulings gets priority

Chinese judges say they are giving high priority to the enforcement of monetary judgments and are ordering stiff punishments for people who fail to comply.

It's part of a redoubled effort to uphold justice and improve the rule of law, they say.

"We've increased the efficiency and accuracy of tracking down defaulters and their properties by cooperating with public security bureaus, banks and real estate registration entities," Beijing judge Chen Changyi said.
