Rule of law strengthens social stability in new era

Among all the reports submitted for review to the national legislature at its annual session, those by the Supreme People's Court and Supreme People's Procuratorate have been a focus of attention in the past.

Their comparatively high rates of disapproval have corresponded to the dissatisfaction with such hated phenomena as the corruption, inaction and inability of officials. The pressure has thus been heavy on the two institutions to improve both their performance and reports.

This year, not only have they been more serious about the documents - the Supreme People's Court set up a drafting panel as early as October, and the less than 11,000 character text reportedly underwent 35"major revisions" before it was delivered to the National People's Congress on Tuesday - but they also showed that they have made targeted efforts to alleviate public concerns.
