According to Zhou, the committee had inspected and analyzed the problem of difficult enforcement and the work on deepening judicial reform of grass-root courts in the past year, which contributed to the courts' judicial development.

In addition, Zhou affirmed progress in resolving the problem of difficult enforcement in the past three years and said courts had strengthened enforcement in a well-rounded way and deepened enforcement mechanism reform and innovation, which gave the people a stronger sense of fulfillment.
