Liu Guixiang, president of the No 4 Civil Court under the SPC, recieved an exclusive interview with China Daily, introducing this year's foreign-related civil and commercial cases handled by Chinese courts.

A total of 13,191 foreign-related cases went before the courts during the first 11 months of the year, a year-on-year increase of 15 percent.  According to Liu, the disputes were usually connected to foreign stocks, bonds, notes and credits, as well as the dissolution and liquidation of foreign-funded enterprises and other issues related to foreign investment.

He said China pays particular attention to protecting the legitimate rights of litigants from home and abroad.
