Especially during the period of epidemic prevention and control, the courts in Tongren have punished crimes that hinder the epidemic prevention and control effort under the law and made full use of the smart court system to strengthen online trials, providing strong judicial support for that effort as well as the battle against poverty and the restoration of economic and social development.

Chen Shaorong, a deputy to the National People’s Congress (NPC) from Tongren, said he hopes that the courts will continue their efforts to provide strong judicial support for the city’s healthy economic and social development.

He raised four suggestions as follows:

Firstly, the courts should strengthen punishment against crimes related to poverty alleviation to support it with a stable and orderly social environment.

Secondly, they should improve the judicial working mechanism for the convenience and benefit of the people and provide more convenient and efficient litigation services for people in poor areas.

Thirdly, they should enhance their law publicity effort so as to raise people's legal awareness, guide them in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests, and create a favorable law-based environment.

Fourthly, they should give full play to the role of trials in order to provide judicial services and support for the prevention of pollution and major risks as well as and improved and law-based business environment.
