Jinhua's procuratorial work conference outlines commitments to legal supervision, high-quality case handling, and a business-friendly environment. For foreign founders, this signals a more predictable legal framework for company registration and operations in the region.

Jinhua Procuratorate Conference Highlights Judicial Support for Business

On October 15, Jinhua city held its procuratorial work conference, where senior officials outlined priorities for the coming period. For foreign founders considering setting up or expanding operations in China, such meetings offer insight into the local legal and regulatory environment. While the conference is an internal government event, its themes—strengthened legal supervision, high-quality case handling, and service to the broader economy—can influence how businesses interact with the judicial system.

Key Participants and Context

The conference was attended by Lin Yiying, Chief Procurator of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Procuratorate, and Zhu Chonglie, Secretary of the Jinhua Municipal Party Committee, both of whom delivered speeches. Other attendees included municipal leaders Lu Pinneng, Jin Wensheng, and Wang Kuanmin, as well as Liu Qidong, President of the Jinhua Intermediate People's Court, and Zhong Ruiyou, Chief Procurator of the Jinhua Municipal People's Procuratorate. The session was chaired by Sheng Hongwei.

The meeting emphasized studying and implementing Xi Jinping's thought on Party building and rule of law, along with instructions on procuratorial work. It also focused on implementing the spirit of the 16th National Procuratorial Work Conference and the 18th Provincial Procuratorial Work Conference, upholding a correct view of performance, and learning from the "Yiwu development experience." The overarching goal is to advance the construction of a higher-level safe and law-based Jinhua, pushing procuratorial work to new heights and providing stronger judicial guarantees for building an important growth pole of high-quality development.

Procuratorate's Role in Legal Supervision

Lin Yiying acknowledged the achievements of Jinhua's procuratorial organs in recent years. He stressed that the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, places high importance on legal supervision by procuratorial organs, and Xi's repeated instructions have charted the course for high-quality development of procuratorial work. In the new era, Jinhua's procuratorial organs at all levels are expected to firmly practice "dare to supervise, be good at supervision, and be brave in self-supervision," adhere to the positioning standard of "go ahead and set an example," and continue to deepen traceability and draw wisdom and strength. They must effectively perform their duties as state legal supervision organs, better serve the overall situation, administer justice for the people, and take responsibility for the rule of law.

Lin emphasized the need to fulfill expectations and entrustments, uphold the absolute leadership of the Party, and more firmly integrate the "two establishments" and "two upholds" throughout the entire procuratorial process. He called for adhering to the constitutional positioning, strengthening procuratorial supervision, and achieving high-quality and efficient case handling as the goal. Judicial work for the people must always focus on resolving pressing difficulties and problems that concern the people, ensuring procuratorial work stays on the right track.

He also highlighted the need to give full play to procuratorial functions, focus on political considerations and legal efforts, enhance political loyalty, concentrate on main responsibilities, strengthen supervision to demonstrate the power of the rule of law, and improve coordination and constraints to enhance governance. Stronger legal force should serve high-quality development and the construction of a demonstration zone for common prosperity. Targets and tasks must be fully anchored, and established work arrangements should be implemented effectively, with practical measures in serving the overall development, improving supervision quality and efficiency, and strengthening team building.

Municipal Leadership's Expectations

Zhu Chonglie fully affirmed the results of the city's procuratorial work in recent years. He urged the procuratorial system to further improve political stance, continue to study and practice Xi Jinping's thought on the rule of law and instructions on procuratorial work, focus on implementing the General Secretary's "4+1" important requirements and the Provincial Party Committee's "132" overall work deployment, and anchor the general goal of "two highs and one picture." Procuratorial work should find the right切入点 and leverage points to integrate into and serve the overall situation, innovate, explore, and make new contributions to coordinating development and security.

Zhu called for firmly practicing the "three supervisions," strengthening theoretical arming, enhancing political capacity, strictly observing political discipline and rules, and taking the lead in building political loyalty. Efforts should focus on serving high-quality development, maintaining high-level security, promoting law-based government construction, and leading in protecting the overall development situation. Procuratorial organs should actively respond to the people's legal expectations, strengthen protection of the rights and interests of special groups, actively promote municipal social governance, and lead in safeguarding people's well-being. They should also cultivate a culture of honesty, hard work, and performance, hone exceptional capabilities, and foster a clean and upright ecology, leading in forging a procuratorial iron army, better protecting and empowering the overall leap to create an important growth pole of high-quality development. Zhu stressed the need to strengthen overall coordination and support, firmly establish the concept of "one game of chess" for the whole city, strengthen organizational leadership, deepen support and cooperation, optimize service guarantees, and gather strong synergy for procuratorial work in the new era.
