Courts keeping tabs on those who remain in debt

More than 3.6 million people who previously owed money have complied with court rulings to repay since China's top court promised to resolve verdict enforcement problems three years ago, the Supreme People's Court said in its annual work report on Tuesday.

The top court pledged in March 2016 that it would spend two or three years to resolve difficulties in enforcing rulings for those owing money, whether it be employees suing bosses for unpaid salaries or banks suing borrowers for unreturned loans.

Since then, greater efforts have been made to address the situation, according to the report delivered to the second session of the 13th National People's Congress in Beijing.
