V. Persevere in implementation and accelerate the reform of the judicial system
The 29 reform tasks deployed by the CPC Central Committee and undertaken by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate have all been completed or concluded, and the judicial reform has shown a situation of all-round efforts, multiple breakthroughs and in-depth advancement.
The judicial responsibility system is fully implemented. The pattern of classified management of prosecutors, procuratorial auxiliary personnel and judicial administrative personnel has basically taken shape. The post system of prosecutors has been pushed forward in an all-round way, and all prosecutors have been allocated to the front line of handling cases, and post dynamic management has been implemented. Leading cadres take the lead in handling major difficult and complicated cases. 1,854 procuratorates carried out internal institutional reforms, and the front-line handling power generally increased by more than 20%.
Great progress has been made in the reform of the public interest litigation system initiated by procuratorial organs. Since July 2015, a two-year pilot project has been carried out in 860 procuratorates in 13 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and 9,053 public interest litigation cases have been handled, covering all authorized fields such as ecological environment and resource protection, state-owned assets protection, assignment of state-owned land use rights, food and drug safety, and it has embarked on a road of public interest judicial protection with China characteristics.
The reform of the criminal procedure system centered on trial has been vigorously promoted. Give full play to the pre-trial leading and filtering role, urge the investigation organs to file 98,000 cases and withdraw 77,000 cases, arrest 124,000 people and prosecute 148,000 people, and refuse to arrest 625,000 people and prosecute 121,000 people who do not constitute a crime or lack of evidence, of which 2,864 people were not arrested and 975 people were not prosecuted because of the exclusion of illegal evidence, and correct the "Wang Yulei’s intentional homicide case" according to law. Strengthen the supervision of criminal trial activities, and lodge 35,000 protests against criminal referees who think there are mistakes. the Supreme People’s Procuratorate lodged protests or retrial procuratorial suggestions with the Supreme People’s Court on 11 major cases such as "Chen Man’s intentional homicide case" and "Tan Xinshan’s intentional homicide case".
The pilot program of quick adjudication of criminal cases and the lenient system of pleading guilty and punishment was carried out in a solid manner. According to the authorization decision of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), a two-year pilot program of expedited criminal cases was launched in 18 cities in June 2014. A total of 56,000 minor criminal cases were recommended to be expedited, and the review and prosecution period was shortened from 20 days in the past to 5 days on average.
Important achievements have been made in the pilot reform of procuratorates across administrative divisions. After the establishment of the third branch of Shanghai Procuratorate and the fourth branch of Beijing Procuratorate in 2014, we actively explored cross-administrative jurisdiction and handling mechanism. Handled 843 trans-regional cases and special types of cases such as food and medicine, environmental resources, intellectual property rights and maritime affairs, with 1,332 people.
The reform of unified management of people and property in procuratorates below the provincial level has been steadily advanced. The chief procurators of city and county procuratorates are managed by provincial party committees, and other leading members are managed by provincial party committees or entrusted municipal party committees. The establishment of a provincial prosecutor selection committee, unified selection of prosecutors. Nineteen provinces, including Jilin and Guangdong, have realized the unified management of provincial property, and the provincial, city and county procuratorates are the first-level budget units of the provincial finance department.
The reform of the people’s supervisor system has been deepened. Since the deepening of reform in 2014, people’s supervisors have supervised 9241 cases.
The reform of the judicial system is deeply integrated with the application of modern science and technology. In 2014, a national unified big data case-handling platform was built, which integrates the functions of case handling, management, supervision and statistics, and the four-level procuratorate is fully connected and covered. All cases have one platform, one standard and one program, and online entry, online management and online supervision are realized, and data is automatically generated.
Six, keep in mind that while the iron is hot, we must be hard, adhere to strict inspection and build a good team.
Strive to build a procuratorial team that will reassure the party, satisfy the people, be loyal and reliable, and be honest and clean.

Consciously accept the special inspection and supervision of the central government, persistently rectify outstanding problems, and comprehensively strengthen party building in procuratorial organs.
Adhere to the standard of justice is always on the road. Since 2014, special rectification has been carried out to regulate judicial behavior for four consecutive years, and outstanding problems such as illegal seizure and freezing of property involved, violent evidence collection, and failure to listen to the opinions of parties and lawyers according to law have been resolutely corrected. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate listed and supervised 193 cases of judicial irregularities, and publicly notified typical cases. Eight bans on the investigation of duty crimes, regulations on residential surveillance at designated residences and regulations on the management of property involved in criminal proceedings were promulgated.
Persevere in discipline and discipline, and severely punish their own corruption with zero tolerance. Formulate implementation measures, issue 15 bans on serious discipline style and bans on prosecutors’ behavior beyond eight hours. 2089 prosecutors who violated discipline and law were severely punished, including 11 in the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, and 543 who violated the spirit of the eight central regulations. Seriously investigate the responsibility of 531 leading cadres for dereliction of duty and oversight.
Seven, for the people’s justice, and consciously accept the supervision of the people.
Firmly establish the concept that supervisors should accept supervision more, and ensure that procuratorial power is always exercised fairly on the track of rule of law.
Consciously accept the supervision of the NPC. Conscientiously implement the spirit of the previous sessions of the 12th National People’s Congress, timely and comprehensively sort out 8,587 opinions and suggestions put forward by NPC deputies during their previous deliberation reports, inspections and discussions, and issue them to the four-level procuratorate for rectification and implementation. Report to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) on special topics, actively cooperate with special inspections and investigations, and conscientiously implement the judicial interpretation filing and review system. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate established a system in which members of the leading bodies directly contacted representatives and internal organs directly contacted delegations, and invited 1,573 NPC deputies to inspect the work in batches. All 594 motions and suggestions put forward by NPC deputies have been settled.

All 216 proposals put forward by Committee member Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference have been settled.
Consciously accept the constraints of the people’s courts and public security organs. The people’s court made a verdict of not guilty of public prosecution cases, comprehensive and careful evaluation and analysis, reporting typical cases, improve the quality of handling cases. For the cases of non-approval of arrest and non-prosecution submitted by the public security organs for reconsideration and review, the undertaker was replaced and re-examined, and the original decision was changed by 2,115 people, an increase of 85.7% over the previous five years.
Broaden the channels for people’s supervision. We will build a unified window to serve the masses, upgrade and improve the national 12309 public platform for procuratorial services, and comprehensively promote the construction of online procuratorates, handheld procuratorates and procuratorial service halls.
In the past five years, the whole system has supported the accelerated development of procuratorial work in old revolutionary base areas, ethnic areas, border areas and poverty-stricken areas.
In the past five years, efforts have been made to provide a strong judicial guarantee for realizing the dream of strengthening the military. A total of 1,635 people have been prosecuted for military-related crimes such as destroying military facilities, pretending to be soldiers, and destroying military marriages.
In the past five years, we have deepened judicial exchanges and cooperation with Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, exchanged visits with principal prosecutors on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in appropriate names, opened secondary windows to standardize cross-strait judicial assistance cases, strengthened cooperation in punishing cross-border crimes, properly handled cases involving Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese according to law, and resolutely safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, overseas Chinese and their relatives.
In the past five years, we have actively integrated into the diplomacy of a big country with China characteristics, given full play to the positive role of judicial exchanges with foreign countries, and served the "Belt and Road" construction and the new pattern of comprehensive opening up. We will develop and improve multilateral mechanisms such as the International Federation of Prosecutors, the Conference of Attorneys-General of SCO Member States, the Conference of Attorneys-General of China-ASEAN Member States, and the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities, initiate the establishment of the meeting mechanism of the Attorney-General of BRICS countries, establish the mechanism of direct cooperation and regular meetings between procuratorial organs in the border areas of China, Vietnam and China and Kazakhstan, and promote the building of a community of human destiny. China’s procuratorial "circle of friends" is growing. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate has signed 145 bilateral cooperation agreements with law enforcement and judicial organs of 95 countries and regions, and has cooperated closely in the fields of counter-terrorism, pursuit and recovery, and combating telecommunication network crimes and drug crimes. Since 2013, it has handled 675 criminal judicial assistance cases.
The development and progress of procuratorial work in the past five years is fundamentally led by the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the most critical is the scientific guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and the most important thing is the great environment formed by the historic changes in the cause of the party and the state.
At the same time, we are clearly aware that there are still many shortcomings in our work and we are also facing many difficulties and challenges. First, we need to further improve our understanding of the opportunities and challenges brought about by changes in major social contradictions and the growing needs of the people in the new era in terms of democracy, rule of law, fairness, justice, security and environment, and the measures need to be further improved; Second, the legal supervision of procuratorial organs needs to be further strengthened, and the procuratorial work in civil, administrative and criminal execution is still weak in some places. The reform of the national supervision system and the legislation of public interest litigation have brought about new changes in procuratorial functions, which need further adjustment and adaptation; Third, the reform of judicial responsibility system needs to be further deepened, the comprehensive supporting reform measures are not perfect, and there are weak links in ideological and political work; Fourth, the quality and ability of the procuratorial team can not fully meet the requirements of the new era, and professionals such as finance, intellectual property rights, ecological environment and information network are lacking; Fifth, violations of law and discipline, judicial irregularities and other issues have occurred from time to time, and a very small number of leading cadres and procurators seek personal gain and money from cases.
In 2018, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, procuratorial organs throughout the country should focus on safeguarding national political security, ensuring overall social stability, promoting social fairness and justice, ensuring people to live and work in peace and contentment, strengthening legal supervision, promoting the construction of a safe China and a China ruled by law, strengthening the construction of an excellent procuratorial team and intelligent procuratorial work, deepening the reform of the judicial system, and striving to create a safe political environment, a stable social environment, a just legal environment and a quality service environment.
First, thoroughly study and implement the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. In the national procuratorial organs, the supreme leader will be trained to study Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, arming his mind and guiding practice with the Party’s innovative theory. Firmly establish the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", resolutely safeguard the core position of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, and resolutely safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core. Deeply understand and firmly grasp the new ideas on the construction of the rule of law and political and legal work, adhere to the party’s absolute leadership over procuratorial work, adhere to the people-centered development thinking, deepen the practice of governing the country according to law, and ensure that the people’s procuratorial work always follows the right direction.

Adhere to the supremacy of national interests, take people’s safety as the purpose, and take political security as the foundation, strictly guard against and resolutely crack down on all kinds of infiltration, subversion, violent terrorist activities, ethnic separatist activities and religious extremist activities. We will carry out a special struggle against evil according to law and severely punish crimes committed by evil forces and their "protective umbrellas."
Third, efforts should be made to provide legal protection for sustained and healthy economic and social development in the new era. The service guarantees the structural reform of the supply side, equally protects the economic property rights of all forms of ownership, discriminates and corrects the complaint cases of property rights disputes according to law, and protects scientific and technological innovation and transformation of achievements. Actively invest in special actions to prevent and resolve major social stability risks, focusing on punishing crimes such as illegal fund-raising, online pyramid schemes and insider trading.
Fourth, vigorously strengthen legal supervision and safeguard the unity, dignity and authority of the national legal system. Seriously study and strictly implement the revised Constitution and resolutely safeguard its authority. Promote the all-round development of criminal, civil and administrative procuratorial work, strengthen the protection of human rights and the rule of law, effectively prevent unjust cases, and resolutely safeguard judicial justice.
Fifth, strengthen the political determination of reform and carry it through to the end. We will thoroughly implement the reform and deployment of the national supervision system, actively cooperate with the supervisory organs to do a good job of connecting relevant work, form an institutional mechanism that is both mutually cooperative and mutually restrictive, and take compulsory measures, review and prosecute according to law, and continue to play an important role in punishing corruption crimes according to law. We will deepen the comprehensive reform of the judicial system, fully implement the judicial responsibility system, improve the post system of prosecutors, and enhance the overall effectiveness of the reform. We will further promote the reform of the criminal procedure system centered on trial, and comprehensively push forward the reform of the system of pleading guilty and admitting punishment.
Sixth, implement the requirements of strictly administering the party in an all-round way, adhere to strict inspection, and build a new era procuratorial team with excellent political skills and high skills. Implement the general requirements of Party building in the new era, put political construction in the first place, and solidly carry out the theme education of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Remember Mission".
