Nation's courts backing better legal services

Top judge cites need to improve business climate, support high-quality growth

Fostering a favorable business environment by improving the rule of law and offering better legal services will be a priority for Chinese courts this year to promote the country's high-quality development, the top judge said.

"Courts across the country should fully play their role and make efforts to help improve the business environment ... and offer strong legal support for a healthy, sustainable economy and a stable society," Zhou Qiang, president of the Supreme People's Court, said while attending a panel discussion of the ongoing annual session of the National People's Congress.
