On February 5th, the Supreme People's Court held a press conference for the first time focusing on the theme of handling representative suggestions, summarizing the handling of representative suggestions by the Supreme People's Court in 2025 and releasing 7 typical cases of high-quality handling of representative suggestions. According to Lin Wenxue, spokesperson for the Supreme People's Court, in 2025, the Supreme People's Court will handle 469 proposals from representatives of the Third Session of the 14th National People's Congress, an increase of 29.9% compared to 361 proposals from representatives of the Second Session of the 14th National People's Congress. Representatives have maintained full satisfaction with the handling and response of the Supreme People's Court's proposals for three consecutive years. More emphasis is placed on "face-to-face" communication. A reporter from the Rule of Law Daily learned from a press conference that last year, the Supreme People's Court carefully sorted out 4072 opinions and suggestions put forward by National People's Congress deputies during the deliberation of the work report of the people's courts during the Third Session of the 14th National People's Congress. After studying each one, written responses were provided and pushed through the National People's Congress deputies' work information platform "point-to-point". 247 opinions and suggestions from various aspects raised by National People's Congress deputies during inspection and research activities or reflected through channels such as letters have been handled, ensuring that each one has a resolution and every matter has a response. Every year after the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Supreme People's Court promptly holds a meeting to handle proposals from representatives, explicitly requiring all departments to treat the handling of proposals as a 'top priority project' and have the main responsible comrades of the departments take full responsibility for it. ”According to Lin Wenxue, in the process of handling suggestions, we adhere to the principles of "asking for needs before handling, mutual consultation during handling, and asking for effectiveness after handling", ensuring that we accurately grasp the expectations and concerns of the people from representative opinions and suggestions, and effectively implement and transform public opinion and wisdom. The Supreme People's Court has always emphasized that the handling of representative suggestions is not just a 'paper response', but more importantly, it is necessary to deepen communication and contact with representatives and build consensus. ”Lin Wenxue believes that the Supreme Court adheres to the combination of "going out" and "inviting in", and pays more attention to "face-to-face" communication with representatives. During their business trips, the leaders of the Supreme People's Court have specially arranged time to visit local National People's Congress deputies and listen to their opinions and suggestions. After completing the process, actively contact representatives to further report and listen to opinions on valuable work progress, ensuring that this highly political, people-oriented, and professional work is implemented and optimized, making the process of handling a process of enhancing understanding, reaching consensus, and solving problems, truly laying a solid foundation for the Party's governance. In addition, in conjunction with the report on the maritime trial work of the people's courts heard at the 18th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, the Supreme People's Court held a special symposium on opinions and suggestions on maritime trial work of the people's courts, inviting 13 National People's Congress deputies to discuss the implementation of opinions and suggestions on maritime trial work. Lin Wenxue said that the Supreme People's Court consciously combines the handling of representative suggestions with the implementation of the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, with the resolution of prominent issues related to the immediate interests of the masses, and with the service of representatives to perform their duties in accordance with the law and respond to social concerns in a timely manner. In the process of handling suggestions, the Supreme People's Court specifically invited representatives to jointly carry out activities such as judicial interpretation seminars and special research, actively adopting and implementing representative suggestions into relevant judicial measures. Since the launch of the construction of the People's Court Case Database in July 2023, Yan Jianguo, a National People's Congress representative and the Chief Partner of Beijing Xinli Law Firm, has been closely following the progress of the project in implementing the transformation of public opinion and wisdom. After in-depth research and combined with the problems discovered during the use of the People's Court Case Library in practice, Yan Jianguo put forward the "Suggestions on Improving the People's Court Case Library, Promoting Interpretation of the Law through Cases, and Resolving Different Judgments in Same Cases" and "Suggestions on Strengthening the Construction of the People's Court Case Library and Rewarding Excellent Judges for Storing Cases" during the Second and Third Sessions of the 14th National People's Congress. The Supreme People's Court has carefully studied and handled my suggestions, actively informed me of the construction of the People's Court case library, and provided detailed and comprehensive responses. I truly feel the high importance and active adoption of the representative's suggestions by the Supreme People's Court, "Yan Jianguo said. Yan Jianguo said that the National People's Congress deputies and the People's Courts are working together. The People's Courts invite all sectors of society to jointly build the People's Court case library, and many lawyers, law schools, experts and scholars actively recommend cases. The "source of vitality" in the People's Court case library is even richer and more diverse. In 2025, the Supreme People's Court conducted 245 liaison activities through organizational inspections, on-site visits, and other forms, and contacted 629 National People's Congress deputies. The liaison work carried out in accordance with the suggestions of the representatives is more pragmatic, effectively building a two-way bridge between the people's courts and representatives, and outlining the concentric circles of the people's courts for the people and the people's congress representatives for the people. According to Lin Wenxue's theory, the Supreme People's Court should expand and deepen the "two connections" (strengthen the connection between the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and the deputies of the National People's Congress and the people), and ensure effective communication and liaison. Thoroughly implement the newly revised Representative Law, actively strengthen communication with representatives, regard the handling of suggestions as a process of jointly answering social hot topics and work difficulties with representatives, and working in the same direction. Sincerely build consensus, strive to handle and respond with high-quality suggestions, and make judicial fairness truly felt, achievable, and praised. Li Daofeng, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Henan Mingzheng Muslim Food Co., Ltd., who expanded and deepened the "two links", put forward the "Suggestions on Strengthening Judicial Protection and Comprehensive Governance of Juvenile Online Game Consumption" when the third session of the 14th National People's Congress was not in session. He hoped that all parties would work together to strengthen comprehensive governance, guide minors to make good use of the Internet, and support a clear cyberspace for minors. Li Daofeng said that the Supreme People's Court has provided a detailed introduction and explanation of the legal issues, judicial rules, and work already carried out related to the phenomenon of underage game recharge and live streaming tipping in its handling work. The Supreme People's Court does not respond in a legal manner during the process of handling suggestions, but sincerely listens to my opinions and suggestions, and studies and explores the issues I have raised. ”Li Daofeng said that during his attendance at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Supreme People's Court came specifically to further listen to opinions and truly implement the mechanism of expanding and deepening the "two connections" system of the Representative Law. Regarding the characteristics and highlights of the Supreme People's Court in handling representative proposals, Li Maomao, Director of the Proposal Handling Bureau of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that after the amendment of the Representative Law in 2025, the Supreme People's Court will integrate the implementation of the newly revised Representative Law into the entire process and all aspects of handling representative proposals, and will practice people's democracy throughout the process, expand and deepen the "two connections", which will be concretely reflected in the high-quality handling of representative proposals. The Supreme People's Court has always attached great importance to representative work and solidly handled representative suggestions. ”Li Maomao said that during the third session and recess of the 14th National People's Congress, 469 proposals put forward by deputies were submitted to the Supreme People's Court for handling. After the closing of the conference, the Supreme People's Court promptly convened a delegation meeting to mobilize and deploy the work of handling suggestions; All suggestions for hosting, independent management, and sub management shall be approved by the Vice President in charge of daily work; The Supreme People's Court strengthens organizational coordination, deepens communication and liaison, sincerely consolidates consensus, closely focuses on key work, pays attention to the transformation of results, and effectively implements suggestions to reflect the will of the people, consolidate the wisdom of the people, protect the rights and interests of the people, and accept people's supervision in judicial trial work, which has been fully recognized by the representatives.
