Legal advice access to expand online

China is looking to improve online access to public legal services by making consultations and other services more available via mobile phones, according to the Ministry of Justice. Under a guideline promoting public legal services that was released by the ministry, more measures should be included on all platforms that provide such services. By the end of the year, all cities, districts and counties should have public service centers, towns with legal service stations and villages with legal assistants, the guideline said.
