Online platforms set to net more users

In the next three years, China will promote more convenient and efficient legal services online, including consultations, legal aid and mediation.

A circular issued by the central leadership and the State Council, China's Cabinet, on Wednesday said the country is strengthening efforts to improve online platforms at national and provincial levels to offer more services and ensure more people can solve problems anytime, anyplace.

For example, in May last year, the Ministry of Justice began providing legal services via its 12348 website, which has more than 6 million registered users. Meanwhile, 170 million people have logged in to the site, according to the ministry.
